Zhang Dacra ended his Dongguan party and brought ten sea ships, including three test ships. These three ships were already giants in Zhang Dacra's eyes. Each ship had twenty artillery guns, which made him invincible in the Beibu Gulf generation.

Five hundred sailors came with the ship, who were the officers and soldiers patrolling the sea route. Zhu Hongsan was naturally uneasy to give power to outsiders, so he tried to mix sand. Zhu Hongsan asked Zhang Dasca to take the old and weak to Dongguan to take over the fields and be a rich man on the grounds that Zhang Dasca's manpower was too old.

Zhang Daccala also knew what Zhu Hongsan meant, but she had no external intentions. In addition, it was really good to have a stable life in Dongguan, so she also explained to her old brothers, so she happily agreed.

The group returned to Yong'an Prefecture on December 20. When Zhang Dacra arrived in Yong'an Prefecture, he immediately paid homage to Fu Wenlong and asked for instructions on what to do next. Generally speaking, those who betrayed the reform and revolution were even more ruthless to their former comrades. Zhang Dacra now needs a chance to prove his loyalty to the King of Chu.

Fu Wenlong naturally gave him this opportunity and ordered him to lead a team to clear out all the pirates in the Beibu Gulf. Zhang Dascara was originally the largest pirate in the local area and cleared the owners of the ships everywhere. This time, a weasel came into the rabbit's nest. All the pirates in the Beibu Gulf were in trouble and were cleaned up in a few months.

Fu Wenlong was not idle for the past half month. Confucian intellectuals were very good at this strategy of getting along far and near, and the three wealthy families were in trouble first. They were killed by Fu Wenlong as colluded with pirates. This really corresponded to the old saying of the destruction prefect and the county magistrate who destroyed the family.

Because of their weak power, the Ruan family and the Zheng family became targets of winning over. The two families divided the business left by the Wang family evenly. Fu Wenlong made a good move and made a great move. After all, the Ruan and Zheng family were just two maritime merchants. Although they had nothing to do, they were incomparable to the violent institutions of the state. What's more, there were 3,000 musketeers outside the city eyeing them. The Wang family's manor was bombarded by these musketeers. At that time, the Ruan family and the Zheng family were watching.

With the Wang family, the big rooster, the other two monkeys became obedient. Ruan and Zheng families worked hard to cooperate with Fu Wenlong and asked people to pay for money. Yong'an Prefecture was not renovated inside and outside, and the state yamen was built, and the damaged door was replaced with a new one.

After handling the internal affairs, Fu Wenlong began to find ways to find money. In the past, Yong'anzhou relied on selling stolen goods for pirates, but now pirates have become an official army, which will lose a large part of their income. Although Zhang Dascala sometimes also engages in old business, he cannot steal it openly after all. Therefore, opening up new money has become Fu Wenlong's main task.

Fu Wenlong was a prefect in Guangzhou for five years, and his administrative experience was not mentioned. Halfway through the journey, he thought that Yong'an Prefecture had no specialties, unlike Leizhou Prefecture, which has a sugar industry and Qiongzhou has iron ore. If you have some advantages, it is the salt farm. The Qisha Salt Farm, which has an annual output of 200,000 tons in later generations, was in Yong'an Prefecture.

When passing Leizhou, Fu Wenlong visited the salt drying farm built by Ma Jiyuan. Fu Wenlong was very envious. He borrowed a few salt drying craftsmen from Ma Jiyuan and planned to build a salt drying farm in Yong'anzhou.

Fu Wenlong took the craftsmen to every corner of the coast and finally found a good place at the outermost part of Fangcheng Bay. The terrain was flat and the sea water had a high salinity. Fu Wenlong built a salt drying field here.

Just as Fu Wenlong was doing his best to develop Yong'an Prefecture, Zhu Hongsan's stern-worded letter came. After reading it, Fu Wenlong was so angry that he trembled all over and cursed: "Does this stupid king think we didn't do anything?"

Ma Shaoguang took the letter and looked at it, saying, "You can't care about King Chu. We have been transporting two ships of coal for almost two months. It's really too little."

Fu Wenlong thought for a while and said, "Bo Yu, you can prepare some things the day after tomorrow. Take people to Vietnam to see if you can get more coal."

After all, Fu Wenlong is a civil servant, so he still thinks that he should look better in his food. If he can sell, he should not do it. But Zhu Hongsan is concerned about those things and does not have money to do it.

Hearing Fu Wenlong say this, Ma Shaoguang said, "Okay, uncle, don't worry, I'll lead the team to take a look."

"Bo Yu, although the Vietnamese are not from my Chinese descendants, they are deeply educated by Confucianism, and it is best to be able to resolve the situation peacefully." Fu Wenlong was afraid that Ma Shaoguang would make things worse. Now they only have 3,000 people, and the Hongji Coal Mine is in the hands of Zheng's family in North Vietnam. Zheng's family has more than 100,000 troops.

After the two of them returned, they called Wang Jinbao and arranged for him to lead two thousand people to Hongji the day after tomorrow.

Wang Jinbao also received Zhu Hongsan's secret letter, and the words were said, "Did you keep a musket and bullet?" Wang Jinbao has been living and dying with Zhu Hongsan for many times, and of course he knows what the King of Chu means.

But Wang Jinbao was also in trouble. After all, when he came, Zhu Hongsan ordered him to obey Fu Wenlong's orders. He did not dare to send troops without Fu Wenlong's orders.

Now that he has received Zhu Hongsan's secret order, and Fu Wenlong finally let him lead the team out, Wang Jinbao is very happy. As for Ma Shaoguang being ignored directly, although Ma Shaoguang is the nominal governor of Yong'an Prefecture, the King of Chu did not order to listen to Ma Shaoguang's words.

On the third day, Zhang Daccala, Zhang Shoujie, brought five ships to pick up Wang Jinbao. Hongji from Yong'an Prefecture to Xialong Bay was very close, with a straight line distance of only 300 miles. In addition, Zhang Shoujie was the ground cannon in this place, and the gates of each route were clear. So he arrived at Hongji three days after departure.

Later generations were rich in high-quality smokeless thermal coal, which was an excellent fuel for steam warships. The coal seam in Hongji is thick and the topsoil is thin, which is conducive to open-pit mining. The mining area is more than 100 kilometers long and twenty kilometers wide, and the coal storage capacity is 2.2 billion tons.

Zhu Hongsan had been salivating in this place for a long time. He used to be suffering from the lack of ships. In addition, this place belongs to Vietnam, and the Ming Dynasty's laws were not working so well. Zhu Hongsan had no choice but to use lignite produced in Guangdong in the end.

Hongji Port was not a big place during the Ming Dynasty, and there were several small fishing villages near the sea. These Vietnamese fishermen immediately fled when they saw five giant ships coming from the sea.

After Wang Jinbao got ashore, all the people in the village ran away. Wang Jinbao was very annoyed and wanted to find someone to ask about the situation.

Wang Jinbao sent 200 people to escort the craftsmen ashore to see where the coal mine was. After half an hour, the craftsmen came back, they said: "General Wang, the coal mine is about one mile away from the beach. Some places do not need to be mined at all. Just load the ship directly. They are all open-pit mine veins."

Wang Jinbao was also very happy after hearing this, but he saw that there was no one in the village by the sea, and he might have to catch dozens of people to mine now. The more Wang Jinbao thought about it, he became more angry and ordered the village to light it, and all the livestock could be pulled away, and all the big livestock and other types were killed. Finally, he sank several small fishing boats near the sea.

Ma Shaoguang on the boat saw Wang Jinbao's tricks and couldn't help but say angrily: "Captain Wang, these fishermen ran away. Why are you doing sinking their boat?"

Before Wang Jinbao could speak, Zhang Dacra said next to him: "I don't know that these fishermen usually fish, and when they see lonely merchant ships passing by, they will rob the merchant ships and kill them all, so they are all dead."

When Ma Shaoguang heard Zhang Dacra say this, he had nothing to say.

Wang Jinbao asked, "Zhang Shoujie, are there bigger towns around here?"

"About fifty miles away from this place, there is a big town with about 3,000 people."

Wang Jinbao nodded and said, "Okay, let's go there."

Zhang Dascara asked, "Does Captain Wang have any ideas?"

"His Royal Highness of Chu needs coal, so we should buy it too slowly with merchants. It's better to rob a few towns and see what you gain."

When Ma Shaoguang heard that he wanted to kill someone and set fire, he quickly said, "No, I don't allow you to kill like this."

Wang Jinbao didn't take Ma Shaoguang seriously at all and said, "The King of Chu ordered me to listen to Fu Wenlong's order, but he didn't say he heard about your Majesty Ma's order."

Only then did Ma Shaoguang realize that his magistrate was bullshit in the eyes of these Qiu Ba. Ma Shaoguang was so angry that he trembled all over and said, "I will write a letter to the King of Chu when I go back, and sue you for not obeying the order."

Zhang Dacra looked down on these intellectuals, and said, "That's the future. Now we have to complete the mission of King Chu first."

After Zhang Dascala finished speaking, he discussed with Wang Jinbao how to attack that town.
