Fu Wenlong and the others waited on the boat for half an hour, and a herald came out of the city, saying that everything was fine inside, and invited the two adults to enter the city.

Hearing the herald say this, Fu Da Governor and Ma Shaoguang disembarked Shi Ran, this is not that Fu Wenlong is afraid of death, he will not say such things to Zhu Hongsan if he is afraid of death. He is guilty of the poor sour spirit of the stinky old nine again, and he has to engage in the gentleman not to stand under the dangerous wall.

After Fu Ma and the two disembarked, more than 100 staff members they brought from Dongguan also disembarked. These 100 people are all staff drawn from various departments, including craftsmen, masters, officials, etc., and there is a small flag of Jinyi Guard. This guy was originally a spy in Dongguan County, but he surrendered early under Zhu Hongsan's sugar-coated cannonballs, and now he is the small leader of Qian Lide's subordinates.

The large ships parked outside the harbor saw that they were starting to unload their cargo, and they took turns docking to unload the loaded personnel and equipment. This time is different from Tong Yangjia's trip to Qiongzhou, this time it is mainly people-oriented. Zhu Hongsan knew that the mountain in Yong'an Prefecture was far away from the emperor, and the influence of the Ming Dynasty here was minimal, so he deliberately brought some more people to Fu Wenlong and Ma Shaoguang to strengthen their courage.

But now it seems that Zhu Hongsan is thinking a little too much, there are less than 4,000 people in Yong'an Prefecture, and Fu Wenlong has brought almost 4,000 people. Therefore, Fu Wenlong is absolutely assured of his safety.

The brigade entered the city, and after passing the broken city gate without a city gate, Ma Shaoguang asked: "Uncle, this place is too dilapidated, how can this work be carried out?" ”

Fu Wenlong smiled and didn't say anything, he has been a magistrate in Guangdong for almost 20 years, he has never been to Yong'an Prefecture, but he has seen places that are poorer than Yong'an Prefecture. Yong'an, a place near the sea, is much stronger than the poor place in the 100,000 mountains of Zhaoqing Mansion. At least there are walls in this place.

After entering the city, there is a street, but it is not a bluestone road, it is all dirt roads. There are shops on both sides of the street, not to mention, there are still quite a lot of shops in this place, and it seems that business is not bad. Of course, this place is a gathering place for pirates in the Beibu Gulf and a place to sell stolen goods, can it not prosper?

There were several taverns, two restaurants, and a brothel on the street, and Ma Shaoguang was greatly surprised, and said: "I really didn't expect this place to look dilapidated on the outside, but the city is not bad." ”

Fu Wenlong said: "Virtuous nephew, don't you know, pirates are rampant in this place, and the reason why you don't repair the city gate is because it doesn't make sense." Looking at the city like this, this place should have some vitality. ”

Fu Wenlong looked around and said, "See, the people around are fierce, and they are not good when they look at it." Looks like we're going to use the thunderbolt tricks. ”

Ma Shaoguang also looked around, it was really like this. On the street in front, there were a few fishermen-like people squatting on the side of the road, looking at these Ming troops with their eyes. When they saw the muskets that the two hundred guards were carrying, their faces changed, and they all bowed their heads.

Ma Shaoguang asked, "Does my uncle have a plan?" ”

Fu Wenlong said with a smile: "It's simple, it's nothing more than differentiation and disintegration, pulling a gang to fight a gang." This place is mixed, and there must be more than one side of the force, so let's talk about it after we understand it clearly. ”

Yong'an Prefecture was not much bigger, and the team soon came to the gate of the state yamen, which was abandoned by the Ming Dynasty more than ten years ago. Because of the lack of management for many years, the place has become a ruin, and even the wood and stone have been taken away by the surrounding residents.

Now Wang Jinbao is directing the soldiers to set up several tents for the temporary office of the state government.

Walking into the tent, the first thing Fu Wenlong did was to find Shen Mengguan, the small banner of Jinyiwei. This guy didn't want to come to this poor place, but Qian Lide threatened him to sell his wife and daughter to a brothel if he didn't come, plus promised that he would get him a brocade guard in two years, so Shen Mengguan reluctantly followed him to Yong'an Prefecture.

Fu Wenlong didn't have a good face for these factory guards, and when he saw Shen Mengguan coming in, he said: "You go and lead people to find out the situation in the city, there are those big families, come and go quickly." ”

Shen Mengguan couldn't help it, when he came, the king of Chu said that in Yong'an Prefecture, Fu Wenlong has the power of life and death, plus these stinky old nine are naturally disgusted with their factory guards, so it is better for them to be careful. Now that he heard Fu Wenlong say this, he hurriedly handed over his hands and took people to make an unannounced visit.

Wang Jinbao saw that the tent was almost set up, so he went out of the city to arrange for those people. A regiment of 3,000 people does not enter the city, after all, this place is too small, and there is no place to live. So I found a flat and dry place outside the city and set up camp.

Shen Mengguan's efficiency is still very high, and he came back to report the situation before it was dark. It turns out that this place has become a pirate den in the past ten years, and it has also become a place for pirates to sell their stolen goods. Now there are three big families in the city, the largest is the Wang family, followed by the Ruan family and the Zheng family. The Wang family is Han Chinese, and the Nguyen and Zheng families are Vietnamese. All three were linked to pirates, selling stolen goods and providing them with information.

As for the biggest group of pirates now called Zhang Da Scar, I heard that he used to be a general under Liu Xiang Lao in Guangdong, and later Liu Xiang Lao and Zheng Zhilong were killed in a fight, Zhang Da Scar did not surrender to Zheng Zhilong, went south to Beibu Gulf, occupied an island in this place, and plundered merchant ships.

When Ma Shaoguang heard that it was Liu Xiang's subordinates, he couldn't help but feel moved in his heart, he knew that most of Zhu Hongsan's subordinates were pirates, and he also knew that Zhu Hongsan's concubine was Yan Siqi's granddaughter back then. Thinking of this, Ma Shaoguang said: "Uncle, since this Zhang Da Scar is Liu Xiang's old department, can we use Liu Xiang's relationship with people and Yan Siqi to recruit them?" ”

Fu Wenlong nodded after hearing this, and said, "This plan is feasible, tomorrow I will find the leader of the water division to ask about the situation." ”

The next day, Yu Long, the leader of the sailors, saw Fu Wenlong after receiving the order, and after listening to Fu Wenlong's explanation, Yu Long frowned and said: "In the past, there was a lot of friction between our patrol and Liu Xiang, and the friendship was so bad that we couldn't talk about it, but a few of the sailors who just got on board were people from the former Dragon King Yan Siqi, let me go back and ask them if they know?" ”

Yu Long was very efficient, and he brought a hundred households to see Fu Wenlong in the afternoon. This hundred households are also surnamed Zhang, his father used to be one of the owners of the ship under Yan Siqi, and now he is old and is in Dongguan to retire. His father had a relationship with Zhang Da Scar when he was young, and he could be regarded as having seen him, so Yu Long took him to see if it was okay.

Fu Wenlong asked, "Zhang Baihu, are you sure you can talk to Zhang Da Scar?" ”

"Lord Hui, as long as he is the big scar under Liu Xiang, he and my father are both Cantonese, so they recognized their brothers back then."

Fu Wenlong nodded and said, "Then the matter of going to persuade Zhang Baihu to surrender, you go back and wait for news." ”

Yu Long and Zhang Baihu Zhang Quan got up and went down.

The next thing is simple, Fu Wenlong asked Shen Mengguan to release the news, saying that the Ming government wanted to talk to Zhang Dascar. As a result, on the third day, someone found the station and asked these Ming officials what was the matter with seeing the owner of the ship?

Fu Wenlong said to the pirate: "I heard that Ship Master Zhang used to be Liu Xiang's general, and we happen to have an old man who is the owner of Zhang, and I want to meet Ship Master Zhang, I wonder if the little brother can convey it on his behalf?" ”

The pirate said, "Yes, but whether you see it or not, it is up to our shipmaster." ”

"Of course, my official is waiting for good news here."

In the next few days, Yong'an Prefecture will be calm, and the three big families should also be waiting, so Fu Wenlong and they have nothing to do. In the past few days, Wang Jinbao's regiment has become a construction team, in addition to building houses in the city, they also have to build houses outside the city, but Yong'an Prefecture is located in the subtropics, and the temperature is much higher than that of Guangdong, so the house is simple.

On the tenth day of his arrival in Yong'an Prefecture, the pirate returned with news of Zhang Da's scar. You can meet, but you can only go by Zhang Baihu alone, and you have to be blindfolded.

Zhang Quan was originally a water bandit in Weishan Lake, and he was also counted as a character, of course there was no problem. Fu Wenlong said to him, don't talk about other conditions, just say that you and your father will take Dongguan to live.

Zhang Quan said in his heart: "Isn't it Zhao'an? What do I say I'm doing? But the adults told him to do so, and then Zhang Quan got on the dock and went to sea on a small boat.

Zhang Quan floated on the sea with a hood for two days, because he was afraid that he would remember how to take the route. This is a bit of a high opinion of Zhang Quan, he is a water bandit, and pirates are two types of work, if Zhang Quan is on the calm lake, he can know what position he is now by virtue of the direction of the wind. But the situation at sea is not the same as on the lake, so Zhang Quan has been completely confused in the past two days.
