After Zheng Sen's 30,000 Zheng troops and 10,000 barbarian troops withdrew from the 28th military town, Fang Yuan smoothly sent troops to the 28th military town.

For this evacuated Zheng army, Fang Yuan did not send troops to pursue, but handed it over to the ambushed Xuanjia Iron Cavalry. There are still hundreds of miles from Quzhou Mansion to Wenzhou Mansion, and the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry can chase and kill the retreating Zheng army, even if Zheng Sen is not completely destroyed, he will also shed a layer of skin.

Fang Yuan entered the city wall of the 28th military town, looked at the two artillery positions in the distance, and secretly sighed that Zheng Sen was really a rare young hero, who could build a mere military town into an impregnable defense line, which made him admire.

The people of the military town were wantonly plundered by the Zheng army, and when they saw that Fang Yuan had arrived as a savior, they came to surrender and surrender to welcome the Xuanjia army into the military town.

Zheng Zhibao of Fengling Pass also personally sent a large amount of military rations, which was not only a sacrifice for the army, but also a surrender to Fang Yuan. Fang Yuan was able to capture the Xianxialing Ancient Road this time, and Zheng Zhibao's persuasion to surrender was a great contribution, and he was busy soothing him with kind words, and repeatedly reiterated that he would definitely abide by the surrender conditions negotiated with the Zheng family before, and make Nan'an County the fief of the Zheng family.

Fang Yuan was very concerned about the military situation of Nanzhili, but at the moment, Zheng Sen had not been defeated, and Fujian had not been completely submissive, no matter how anxious he was, he couldn't show the slightest eagerness to be in a hurry at this time, otherwise the overall situation in Fujian would make waves again.

Fang Yuan delayed in the military town for three days, reorganized all the 5,000 Zheng troops in Fengling Pass, and ordered Ma Lin to lead 5,000 soldiers to stay in Xianxia Pass to prepare for the back road.

Then he personally led 70,000 Xuanjia troops, led by Zheng Zhibao, and stepped into Fujian.

The group passed through Jianning Mansion from Xianxia Ancient Road and arrived at Fuzhou Mansion.

Zheng Zhilong led all the generals and officers of the Governor's Palace, as well as Wu Zhiping, the governor of Fujian, and led all the civilian officials, squires, and wealthy merchants to go out of the city for ten miles to meet Fang Yuan's Xuanjia sergeants.

Fang Yuan recruited Wu Zhiping, the governor of Fujian, as well as high-ranking officials such as the Fujian Political Secretary, to reiterate to everyone that as long as the Fujian prefectures obeyed the rule of Fang Yuan, the previous wealth of bureaucrats at all levels would be retained and would not be recovered.

However, since Jinyiwei was stationed in Fujian, the petition system was introduced, and the government affairs of each government were monitored by Jinyiwei. and if there is any more offender, he shall be punished according to the law. As for the proportion of land taxes and commercial taxes to be paid, officials at all levels should continue to perform their duties as before, compared with the various prefectures in Zhejiang.

Wu Zhiping is still the governor of Fujian, and the political envoys and envoys of Fujian are still in charge of Fujian's government affairs. Although the interests of Wu Zhiping and others have suffered some losses, and the money they have made from the land and commercial taxes is less than before, they are still a little soupy and watery. successfully kept his official position, as well as the wealth obtained from previous corruption, and everyone was relieved that the change of dynasty could pass the test so easily.

Whether Fang Yuan or the capital court came to rule, it had no impact on them, and after Fang Yuan repeatedly promised that he would never have two hearts, he honestly went back to his own house and reinstated his official position.

Fang Yuan then summoned the representatives of the squires and warned them that Fang Yuan was different from those officials of the Ming court. The squires must abide by the law, can not fish in the township, once there are villagers, people complained to the letter mailbox, then no one wants to be confused, there is a check of one piece, will not be tolerated.

The squires saw that the Xuanjia Army stationed in Fujian neither looted nor committed adultery, and the military discipline was much better than that of the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, and even the Zheng Army, what else could they say? Each one nodded at Fang Yuan's assurance, absolutely supporting Fang Yuan's rule over Fujian, and he would also keep to himself and would not fish the villagers.

Fang Yuan sent away the representatives of the squires and recruited the representatives of the wealthy merchants - Fujian merchants.

Because Fujian has always had the saying of 'eight mountains, one water and one field', only one-tenth of the farmland in Fujian can be used for cultivation. Therefore, in addition to making a living from farming, most of the provinces that rely on the sea rely on the sea for food.

Fujian merchants are very different from other merchant gangs, they are a group of merchants who rely on their families and clansmen to maintain their families and eat by the sea, and they have a tradition of going to sea to venture and open up since ancient times. The prosperity of maritime trade in the Southern Song Dynasty was attributed to the great contribution of Fujian merchants.

Traditional Fujian merchants believe in the creed of 'three points of ability and seven points of courage' and 'if the young do not work hard, the old man will have no reputation'. In Fang Yuan's view, the Fujian merchants who are bold and dare to fight are also one of the few merchant gangs in the Ming Dynasty who can open up and colonize overseas. As long as there is a corresponding policy inclination to cultivate a few Chinese Columbus, it is no longer a problem.

Fang Yuan summoned the Fujian merchants and merchants, that is, to encourage them not to stick their trade routes in the Ming Dynasty, and directly extend their power beyond the sea to expand business opportunities, even overseas colonies.

Annam, Luzon, Johor, Temasek, Java, these countries around the Ming Dynasty, whether they are land countries or sea and land countries, can colonize in large numbers, cultivate pro-Ming kings and leaders, and even directly overthrow the rule of the locals and rule by Ming merchants. However, whoever occupies the overseas colonies that have been defeated will be recognized and canonized by Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan would give full support to the infiltration and colonization of these overseas countries by Fujian merchants.

Economically, it can provide Fujian merchants with the most cost-effective chemical fiber silk and porcelain for Fujian merchants to go to sea to operate and earn profits;

Politically, the number of places for the children of Fujian businessmen to study in Jiangnan University was increased to solve the worries of Fujian businessmen. Fujian businessmen and businessmen can join the business associations of the cabinet and participate in the election of cabinet candidates;

Militarily, Fang Yuan would station an artillery aircraft carrier squadron and a South China Sea Fleet of 100 warships in Zhenhaiwei and Xiamen Island all year round to monitor the Daming Sea and even go to the ocean to form a deterrent to the countries of the South Seas. Those who dare to confront the Ming ocean-going merchants harbor hostile intentions and attack without authorization must be severely punished militarily.

The representatives of Fujian merchants were still worried about whether Fang Yuan's occupation of Fujian would liquidate their wealth and put everyone in danger, and even some wealthy merchants moved their family wealth to merchant ships, and once the limelight was not right, they immediately fled to Nanyang.

After some communication, Fang Yuan not only did not extort a tael of silver from them, but also gave huge concessions to the Fujian merchants in one go, as well as military and political support.

The Ming Dynasty imposed a maritime ban, and most of the overseas businesses of Fujian merchants were smuggled in violation of the Ming law. During the reign of the Zheng family, because the Zheng family itself was the largest Fujian merchant smuggling group, in order to monopolize the profits of the maritime merchants, one faction only needed the state officials to set fires, and the people were not allowed to light lamps. Most of the Fujian merchants dared to be angry with the Zheng family.

Now that Fang Yuan came, the policy directly changed 180 degrees, not only lifting the sea ban, but even encouraging them to go overseas to do business and expand colonies in the name of the government. In the eyes of the Min merchants, Fang Yuan was the savior of the Min merchants, and naturally they happily supported Fang Yuan's rule. Even in the name of the three major chambers of commerce of Fujian merchants, he took the initiative to donate one million taels of silver to Fang Yuan for the army.

After meeting with the Fujian merchants, the next step was to appease the ethnic minorities in Fujian.

There are at least 5,60 ethnic minorities in Fujian, which encompasses almost all ethnic minority groups in China. The contradictions between these ethnic minorities and the Han nationality have been going on for a long time, and if the problem of ethnic minorities is not properly dealt with, Fujian's rule will not be stable for a long time.

Fang Yuan directly recruited the leaders of the She ethnic group, which accounts for the largest minority population, including Naji, the leader of the She people in southern Zhejiang, the leaders of the four major She clans in Fujian, including the Pan, Lan, Chong, and Lei clans, as well as other representatives of ethnic minority leaders who were willing to come to observe.

In front of everyone, he reiterated that the She people and other ethnic minorities were treated the same as the Han people, whether they were studying, taking the imperial examination, or being an official.

In cities and ports, the government will set up some large workshops for ironmaking, shipbuilding, blade making, ceramics, bamboo, tea, etc., and give priority to employing mountain people to provide livelihood.

In addition to the county ordinance in charge of the overall situation, and the county lieutenant who is in charge of maintaining public order and taking charge of the government service, other auxiliary chief secretaries and county officials are given priority to be served by their own people.

These preferential policies are simply the great gospel of mountain people and ethnic minorities, and the leaders of all ethnic groups are grateful to Dade, and they have knelt down and bowed, treating him as a living bodhisattva who saves suffering.

Fang Yuan had placed all the forces in place, and the only thing left was the Zheng family headed by Zheng Zhilong.
