Xu Hua's case was dealt with impartially, and the turmoil in the backyard subsided, Fang Yuan's next goal was to go to Guangdong and Taiwan to defeat the last stronghold of the marine smuggling syndicate - Guangzhou Prefecture, and Macao, where the Portuguese were entrenched.

Before Fang Yuan's three armies moved, they received news from Shi Lang in Fujian that Zheng Sen had led the remnants of Zheng's naval division to capture Taiwan, and the governor of the Dutch East India Company, Putsmann, was removed from his post and sent back to China, and was succeeded by the governor of Luzon, Aoi Yi, as the governor of the East India Company, and the remnants of the forces retreated to Luzon, waiting for an opportunity to counterattack again.

Zheng Sen captured Taiwan and defended it, and it was expected that he would fight a protracted war with Fang Yuan, but this battle would cross at least 700 miles of the Taiwan Strait, and naval battle was the top priority. Led by Shi Fu, he marched south to Fujian to support the campaign to capture the island of Taiwan.

Only 60 river boats adapted to the water war on the Yangtze River were stationed at Quarry Rock, Longjiang Wharf, and Jingkou Wharf in Nanzhili.

In this battle, the naval division under Fang Yuan's command poured out, plus the Shi Lang naval division stationed in Zhenhaiwei, the scale of the warships reached more than 500, and the number of troop and supply ships was 1,000, which was ready to make a complete break with Zheng Sen.

Fang Yuan led 35,000 infantry sergeants from Suzhou Mansion to Zhejiang, and when he passed through Zhejiang, he discussed with Ma Lin, the general soldier of Zhejiang, for a day, and made him jump over the wall in the direction of the left army in the direction of the west of the embankment, desperately. In accordance with Fang Yuan's order, Malin concentrated the 10,000 Xuanjia Army and 10,000 guards in Zhejiang in Quzhou Mansion at the junction of Zhejiang and Jiangxi, receiving refugees on the one hand, reorganizing into an army, and building fortifications on the other.

Fang Yuan passed through Zhejiang, and a month later entered the territory of Fujian, where he joined Feng Ting, the general soldier of Fujian, and Feng Ting reported to Fang Yuan the intelligence in the direction of Guangdong.

After receiving the letter from the governor of Fujian and the general military office, Gu Yuanjing, the political envoy of Guangdong, directly tore up the letter, gathered 10,000 guards in Guangdong, and 20,000 smuggling troops in the territory, and then sent letters asking for help to Zheng Sen in Taiwan, the Portuguese in Macao, and the Netherlands who had fled to Luzon, requesting that troops be sent to defend Guangdong and curb the infiltration of Fang Yuan's forces into Guangdong.

Feng Ting summoned 10,000 Xuanjia soldiers and 15,000 guards in Fujian to support Fang Yuan's campaign against Guangdong and Taiwan.

Fang Yuanbing went to Fuzhou Mansion and ordered the officers and men of the three armies to temporarily rest and recuperate in Fuzhou Mansion, while Qin Zhan, who accompanied the army, arranged to go to Quanzhou Port to contact all the local Franco Chamber of Commerce and make an appointment for negotiations. And Fang Yuan himself personally went south to Zhangzhou Mansion and joined Shi Lang's sailors in Zhenhaiwei.

Fang Yuan and Shi Lang have not seen each other for one or two years, and even after the capture of Fujian, because Fang Yuan was anxious to return to Shinan Zhili to support, and Shi Lang also had to rebuild Zhenhaiwei and monitor Zheng Sen's movements, the two did not see each other.

This time, the two were reunited after a long absence, and they were extremely excited and hugged each other tightly.

Shi Lang was thrifty by nature, and because Zhenhaiwei was a military guard, and the material conditions were also simple, he really didn't have the ability to entertain Fang Yuan, who came from afar, and smiled awkwardly, "Boss, this Zhenhaiwei eats the most sea fish, and I haven't had time to prepare other Jiangnan-style dishes, and I don't know if you can get used to the food here, boss." ”

Fang Yuan put his arms around his shoulders affectionately and said, "Haha! I was tired of eating those dishes in the water towns of the south of the Yangtze River, so I just came to the beach to eat seafood and change the taste. ”

Shi Lang scratched the back of his head and said, "In this Zhenhaiwei, they are all rough people in the army, and they don't pay attention to eating and drinking. The insider's craftsmanship is not bad, if the boss doesn't dislike it, he will go back to the house with me, and the insider's person will personally cook and entertain the governor Fang. ”

Fang Yuan happily accepted the invitation and went to Shifu with Shi Lang to settle down.

It is said that it is Shi Mansion, but in fact, it is a small courtyard with five into five, which is not comparable to Canglang Pavilion, it can be seen that Shi Lang is still very restrained in terms of personal enjoyment, and Fang Yuan is very satisfied.

Because the Shi Mansion was small, Fang Yuan ordered Hu Qi and other guards to be stationed outside the Shi Mansion to guard.

Hu Qi asked hesitantly, "Governor Fang, if something happens, I'm afraid it won't be able to be rescued!" ”

Shi Lang smiled awkwardly, "Yes, yes, boss, I immediately asked the Jinyi guards to vacate the room." ”

Fang Yuan Zhengrong said, "Lao Hu, I went to the fifth child's house, what accidents can I have?" Jinyiwei was not allowed to enter the house, which disturbed the family of the fifth child. ”

Hu Qi gave up his hand, and Shi Lang was also secretly grateful to Fang Yuan for his trust.

Shi Lang's wife, Xu Ru, personally made some home-cooked seafood and set up a large table full of fish, shrimp, crab and other seafood.

Fang Yuan was about to eat, but when he saw Xu Ru standing on the side, he didn't sit at the table, and laughed and said, "Little worm, what are you doing standing?" Come, come, together! ”

Xu Ru was slightly stunned, this is the first time in a few years that he has heard someone call him by his nickname, and he is still the dignified Governor Fang, he felt cordial, lowered his eyes and said, "No, no, according to the customs here, banquets for distinguished guests, women can't serve on the table." ”

Fang Yuan smiled and said, "I'm a fart guest, I am a brother with the fifth child, you and the princess are sisters, we are all a family, when we get here, it is no different from going home, who is the master and who is the guest?" If it weren't for the fact that I hadn't practiced cooking, I would have shown my hands before. ”

As soon as he said this, the relationship between the two sides was immediately brought closer. Shi Lang and Xu Ru glanced at each other, Shi Lang had both respect and love for her on weekdays, so he asked her to move a chair and sit down together.

Fang Yuan continued to gossip with Shi Lang, "Old Five, you have made great contributions to the capture of Fujian. Before, due to the urgent military situation, I was in a hurry to return to the division to rescue Nanzhili, and I didn't have time to celebrate with you yet. So be it! I will make you the Governor of the Naval Division, and the Naval Division of the Xuanjia Army, the position! Like the third child, he is treated like the same governor. ”

Shi Lang shook his hand again and again, "The boss is the governor, how can I be compared to the boss?" The third brother is the commander of the Xuanjia Army, and I can't be treated the same as him, absolutely not! ”

Seeing him refuse, Fang Yuan smiled slightly and said, "Then temporarily reside in the Governor of the Navy, and when I become the regent, I will promote you to the Governor of the Navy." ”

Shi Lang was stunned and asked, "What kind of regent should the boss be, mother-in-law, who directly opposed the Ming Dynasty and called the emperor!" ”

Fang Yuan patiently explained to him the idea, motive, and purpose of the separation of powers, Shi Lang only knew how to fight, and he didn't seem to understand these political, "Okay, good, I only know how to fight on the water, and what the boss says is what it is." ”

Fang Yuan asked Xu Ru again, "Little worm, what reward do you want?" ”

Xu Ru lowered his head, thought for a while, and said, "Don't you, I haven't made meritorious contributions, so I don't dare to ask for a reward." But if the horse really wants to be rewarded, then transfer my husband back to Jiangnan! ”

Fujian, a poor place, is worlds different from the world of flowers in the south of the Yangtze River. Xu Ru, a delicate woman, naturally will not get used to this kind of life in Fujian.

Shi Lang frowned and said, "Madam, staying in Fujian is a military fortress, and it is a matter of military and political affairs, how can you intervene?" You'd better go in! ”

Xu Ru's face turned red, and he was about to enter obediently, but was stopped by Fang Yuan, "Actually, I also have this intention, after pacifying Guangdong and Taiwan, I will transfer the fifth and Shi Fu commanders, and Shi Commander, who is familiar with the southeast maritime affairs, will take over the coastal defense military affairs, while the fifth will continue to be stationed at the Zhoushan Naval Base, preparing to deal with the war in the north." ”

The transfer of Shi Lang back to the Zhoushan Naval Base was the result of the original intention of the Chinese side. Shi Lang is the leading sailor general of the Xuanjia Army, and he controls the only artillery mothership formation of the Xuanjia Army. Leaving Shi Lang in his hometown of Fujian, thousands of miles away, Fang Yuan was still a little jealous of what he said in his heart.

Therefore, as soon as Fang Yuan arrived in Zhenhaiwei today, he affectionately started a family affair with Shi Lang and Xu Ru, which was also a move to appease Shi Lang. Transferring Shi Lang back to the Zhoushan base can be monitored nearby, and he can better control Shi Lang's dynamics at any time, so he will have a heart disease.

Xu Ru, this girl, is obviously a blue heart, seeing through Fang Yuan's pretending to be affectionate, but in fact being taboo, she deliberately proposed to be transferred back to Jiangnan first to eliminate Fang Yuan's doubts. But Shi Lang was a nervous person, and he didn't see Xu Ru's intentions.

Xu Ru secretly glanced at Shi Lang, and bowed down to Fang Yuan Yingying, "The horse is a golden mouth, don't regret it, after the war, we will go back to Jiangnan." ”

Shi Lang was stupid at this time, and he could see Xu Ru's intentions clearly, and hurriedly echoed, "Thank you boss for your favor, after this time to pacify Guangdong and Taiwan, I will go back to Jiangnan with the boss." ”

Fang Yuan smiled, toasted a glass of wine with Shi Lang, and then got back to business, "Old Five, tell me, should you attack Guangdong or Taiwan first!" ”
