Chen Xi's writing book was written until midnight and slept very late, but he woke up very early the next morning.

According to the meaning of the governor of Leizhou Hu Bin, Chen Xi should go to Haikang County, the prefecture of Leizhou Prefecture today to receive cheers and support from the people, and then have a dinner with local gentry and scholars to experience the deep affection between officials and people.

But what Chen Xi thought was to go back to Guangzhou Prefecture early to see his wife and children. He had a big wife and a little wife at home, and a fiancée who had not been with her family. She still had a house outside and Hui Niang was pregnant.

At any time, Chen Xi felt that family was more important than things in the court. If he hadn't been worried about the safety of the women around him, he wanted to bring his beautiful wife with him even when he went to war.

"Prince Hu, please come back. Now the large bandits in Leizhou Prefecture have been basically wiped out. The rest are all tinea scabies, and the local garrison can solve the problem by themselves. I want to lead the troops back to Guangzhou Prefecture. I believe we will meet again soon." Chen Xi smiled and said goodbye to Hu Bin.

In order to show his respect for Chen Xi, Hu Bin stayed in the military camp tent overnight and felt that his old bones were about to fall apart. He immediately forced himself to bow and say goodbye to Chen Xi. He turned around and got on the official sedan chair with the support of his staff and returned to the city surrounded by three yamen runners.

Chen Xi has begun to call on people, reload tents, pots, stoves and other items, and prepare.

After receiving the order, Jing Yue was very surprised and hurried over to ask for instructions: "Sir, I have just arrived at the Leizhou Prefecture Prefecture, why don't I stay here for a few more days? It's too early to celebrate the New Year, so there is no need to hurry to return to Guangzhou. Besides, haven't the follow-up personnel come back yet?"

Chen Xidao: "Since we have met with the prefect of Leizhou, and have handed over the prisoners, the rescued women, children, and slaves, and have an explanation with the court, there is no need to stay here. We are going to Donghai Island now, so we can return early!"

From the coastal road along Leizhou Prefecture, you can go to Qiongzhou Prefecture, which is the Qiong Island in later generations, but Chen Xi has now focused on how to capture Shangchuan Island.

It is already late winter. If you don’t hurry up and wait for the Chinese New Year, even if he wants to start a war with the Folang Ji people on Ukawa Island, the officers and soldiers are all thinking about returning home and want to go back to reunite with their wives and children earlier, then the hope of regaining Ukawa Island will be very slim.

Chen Xi just stayed at the port where Leizhou Prefecture is located for one night, and the next morning he took the fleet to Shatou Port in the southeast of the East China Island.

Donghai Island and Kuazhou Island are both good places, but they have not been developed yet. Later, the permanent population of Donghai Island was 200,000, while Kuazhou Island was 40,000. This does not count the tens of thousands of tourists who visited the two islands. This shows the importance of these two islands to the Ming Dynasty.

Chen Xi knew that when he left, the bandits would blow and grow again. As long as the sea ban was not lifted and the people would not be able to eat enough, the bandits would not be completely cut off. He only quelled the bandits for a while, so that the people would live and work in peace and contentment for a period of time. Perhaps in less than two years, the bandits would re-enter these places, form new forces, and occupy the island as king.

In the afternoon of the same day, the subsequent fleet arrived at Shatou Port on the East China Sea Island. Ma Jiu came down from the boat and saluted Chen Xi: "Sir, after careful search, we dug out four silver bins in the hamlet, and raised more than 3,000 taels of gold and more than 16,000 taels of silver. Now most of the hamlets on the island have been demolished, but I'm afraid that someone will repair it and use it!"

Chen Xi nodded happily.

The attack on the island of Weizhou was the biggest gain of this expedition to suppress the bandits. No wonder later generations said that "a cannon fire will make ten thousand taels of gold". It turns out that suppressing bandits is really a good deal.

As for the prediction that the bandits would re-enter the island after evacuation, Chenxi had no good idea. After all, there was no people on the island, and local governments and garrisons did not do anything. Those refugees who could not survive would naturally find ways to go out to sea, become bandits, and end up being free and easy.

Jing Yue and his men searched the East China Island and came back to report: "Sir, I've seen it, there is no trace of this island! What are we going to do next?"

Chen Xidao: "Pack up your luggage and go home, but on the way, let's remove the tooth decay of Shangchuanshan!"

...

...

The fleet came with murderous intent and returned happily. The journey was brilliant and it could be said that it was a return with a full load.

Due to the large amount of money and goods loaded, the ship's draft has become much deeper, which has made the ship more stable while driving. Chenxi's discomfort with sailing on the sea slightly relieved, his appetite improved, and his spirit gradually recovered.

When the fleet returned, I never heard of any bandits. As a result, the next goal became clearer, which was to recover Uekawa Island near Hiroshima.

Chen Xi studied many island attack strategies along the way, but he later rejected them one by one. Now that he is strong, it is easy to capture the island. The difficult thing is how to avoid Almeida's revenge. It is best to capture his main fleet in one shot, but it is obviously very difficult.

Now, in name, the Florian Kingdom is a "vassal" of the Ming Dynasty. Perhaps Almeida, the Florian Kingdom's fleet admiral in the Far East, still does not understand what the "vassal" means. At that time, Almeida was imprisoned and wanted to escape early. Then he recognized the status of the "vassal" and could trade freely with the Ming Dynasty. Why not do it?

Chenxi only recognized one. Shangchuan Island was the territory of the Ming Dynasty. When signing an agreement with the Folang Jiren, he did not say which island to give them as a transfer station. Even if you want to transfer, it should be our Ming Dynasty that we have designated a place for you to stay for the time being, rather than not even saying hello after occupying the island.

According to information, Shangkawa Island has a population of thousands, with extremely excellent ports on the island, and there are markets for free trade in the city. Even those Franchisemen traded with pirates and Japanese pirates raging near the Ming Dynasty. Cargo ships traveling from Southeast Asia often anchored here, just like Shangkawa Island was regarded as a *******.

Chen Xi felt bad.

Folang Jiren understands the value of marine trade better than the Ming Dynasty. Such a ******* is the prototype of a port city. As long as it is managed properly, it is no problem to make money every day, and it is worth learning and learning from the Ming Dynasty.

"Even if you want to build a **** near the Ming Dynasty, you Folang Ji people should not be the one who takes over our territory and captures us. Do you want to regard Ukawashima as your colony?"

Chen Xi was preparing to take back Shangkawa Island and then run Shangkawa Island in the name of the Ming Dynasty government. The only trouble in doing so was how to deal with the relationship with the Folang Ji people, and how to explain to the court that "unreasonable damage to good relations with friendly countries."

Chen Xi was on the command ship studying the situation of Folang Jiren and Shangchuan Island every day, while **, Jing Yue, Ma Jiu and others helped to provide advice.

The battle of the 南山 Island was very smooth, and they captured more than 400 heads without any casualties. In addition, many prisoners were captured. The morale of the army was high and the fighting spirit was high. Many officers and soldiers felt that it was not enough to just attack the 南山 Island, and they could make achievements while they were attacking the 南山 Island.

Just copy everything you did on the island of Juzhou and kill the Folangji people on the island of Shangkawa as a bandit, and use their heads and prisoners to seek merit.

But Chen Xi still tends to "peaceful resolution". If the war really starts, the Flangers on the island have artillery and the Flangers are well-trained, far from comparable to ordinary pirates, so the losses in this battle will not be small.
