After Huang Sanye's all-out fundraising, he finally collected 10,000 taels of silver in the shortest possible time, and then handed it over to Yu Zhigao. ＊,,

Of course, during this time, Huang Sanye also kept killing and slaughtering sheep and sent them to Yu Zhigao's military camp, striving to feed some soldiers so that they could go into battle to kill the enemy.

After taking the arrears of money and eating a lot of fish and meat for a few days, the morale of these soldiers finally rose.

Under Huang Sanye's repeated urging, Yu Zhigao also had to leave the camp and set off.

Huang Sanye suggested that he bring some soldiers from the guard, but Yu Zhigao was dismissive of this, what could the soldiers of the guard do but cause chaos, so he rejected his proposal.

After getting on the road, Yu Zhigao didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, and he didn't plan to rush to Zhao'an at all before the two soldiers came back.

Therefore, this trip was like an outing, and the army would camp and rest after walking more than a few miles in a day.

After the squires along the way knew that it was the officers and soldiers who had gone to exterminate the pirates, they changed their previous attitude towards the officers and soldiers, and they all became very enthusiastic.

They organized the villagers to carry out all kinds of labor and labor, and chickens, ducks, and fish were constantly sent to the barracks.

After all, their place is not far from Zhao'an, and they have vaguely heard some rumors about the tragic situation of the Huang family.

Now at least a familiar face, not a favor.

Regarding the change of faces of these squires, Yu Zhigao smiled on his face, but he scolded in his heart.

These squires usually almost have their eyes on the top of their heads, and they look at us officers and soldiers like garbage, and they don't take us seriously at all.

Now we can be used, but we are complimented.

This is thanks to this group of thieves, at least they make the officials and soldiers more valued.

The officers and men were also very happy along the way, not only walking very slowly, but also having chickens, ducks, and fish waiting for them along the way.

Usually they lack food and clothing in the camp, and they are looked down upon, where have they received this kind of treatment, to say that this day is really a race for living immortals.

So a group of people marched towards Zhao'an happily, except for one person, that was Huang Sanye.

Rushing to Zhao'an at such a speed, it will not be a month later, and when the pirates will not all run away, then his silver will not be spent in vain.

So he kept urging Yu Zhigao, and Yu Zhigao verbally agreed very refreshingly, but he didn't mean to speed up at all.

At this time, Huang Sanye knew that he had fallen for Yu Zhigao's evil deeds, and he didn't know how many times he scolded Yu Zhigao behind his back, and secretly thought that when this matter passed, he must find Yu Shi to sue him. But now there is no way to take Yu Zhigao.

*****

Just when Huang Sanye went to see Yu Zhigao, Lu Yan also met a visitor who surprised him.

That is the praise painting of the governor of Fujian, Chen Gengyun.

"Your Excellency the Governor asked me to ask you, the court treats you well, why do you want to betray the court."

Facing the pirate leader Lu Yan, Chen Gengyun was obviously a little short of breath, so he spoke very kindly.

Lu Yan was about to speak, but Jia Xu snatched the conversation.

"The court owes my lord a salary, and the reward for beheading has not been issued for a long time, and my lord can't bear to see the soldiers starving, so he has to take them to gather on the sea."

Lu Yan looked at him with a puzzled expression, but Jia Xu motioned for him to deal with everything.

Out of trust in Jia Xu, Lu Yan let him play freely.

"I see, it's just that even if the court owes you money, you can't go to the sea to be a bandit, and you also defeated the water army of Tongshan Shui Village, where do you put the face of the court."

Seeing Lu Yan's Mou Xi, he was graceful and spoke gently and politely.

Chen Gengyun was also relieved for a while.

But he didn't know that the person in front of him was completely the master of all living beings in the world, and he had never put other people's lives in his heart.

"My family is also a last resort, Daming is unwilling to open the sea ban, the soldiers are hungry, and all kinds of materials are scarce, so I have to come to Daming to grab some food. If there is any inconvenience, please forgive the Governor. ”

Jia Xu said with a smile.

"So do you have any intention of recruiting An? Now that the court is on the occasion of employing people, if you are willing to change your mind, the governor is willing to guarantee to the court that you are not guilty and that the officials will be reinstated. ”

Chen Gengyun said.

Hearing this, Lu Yan couldn't help but look extremely strange.

"Can I still be reinstated?"

Lu Yan asked cautiously.

"That's natural, because I often owe salaries, so there are frequent troubles. Some of them made more trouble than yours, and almost slaughtered the city. But after the fact, it is basically a big thing and a small thing, and at most kill a few inconsequential scapegoats. ”

Chen Gengyun said with a smile.

Lu Yan couldn't help but smile bitterly, it turned out that Da Ming was like this?

After killing so many Ming officers and soldiers, he was able to reinstate himself.

"If you are interested in recruiting peace, I am willing to convey your intentions to the governor, and ensure that you will be reinstated after the fact, and at most you will receive some reprimands."

Chen Gengyun said with a smile.

But Lu Yan shook his head, "Since I have already gone to the sea as a thief, how can I be willing to recruit peace easily." And what happened to Wang Zhi back then really worried me. ”

Back then, the great pirate king was bent on blending into the system and glorifying his ancestors. As a result, he was deceived by the imperial court, and directly carried him to the court with a sedan chair, and then cut off his head.

Since then, the credibility of the imperial court has plummeted, and there are many fewer pirates who are willing to recruit peace, and they are basically desperate to surrender.

There are not many people like Zheng Zhilong who particularly want to recruit An.

"How can Wang Zhi compare with you, an adult, he is a real widow, you are a garrison with a clean net worth and military exploits in Liaodong. I'll just say a heart-to-heart word to you, now that Liaodong is defeated again, almost all of my famous generals are dead. As the so-called national disaster thinks of good generals, for military generals like you, the court is thirsty for talents. ”

Chen Gengyun said intentionally or unintentionally.

In fact, he was right, from the forty-seventh year of Wanli, Yang Hao's four-way army was wiped out in Salhu, and more than 300 generals died alone.

and then to the defeat of Guangning, almost all the places outside the pass were abandoned, the imperial court was really useless, and there were more than a dozen of the general soldiers who died.

Those lieutenant generals, staff generals, and guerrilla deaths are too many to count.

After every defeat, almost all the military attachés who survived were promoted to the next level.

For example, the famous Man Gui was promoted to general after Yang Hao's defeat.

There's no way around it, someone has to lead the troops.

If Lu Yan was still in Liaodong, he might be able to become a guerrilla general.

When it came to Liaodong, Lu Yan became interested, and he didn't know what impact he had on the situation in Liaodong after he slaughtered Sun Degong.

So he asked: "How did Liaodong lose back then?" ”

Chen Gengyun thought about it, this was not a secret, so he told him.

It turned out that although Sun Degong died, **Hachi once again played the trick of encircling the point to send reinforcements, but Wang Huazhen was frequently recruited, and the troops in the city were transferred out of the city again and again, and then eaten by **Hachi one by one.

When Hachi attacked Quang Ninh City, Quang Ninh's troops were running out.

Later, one of Sun Degong's former subordinates opened the city gates, and finally Quang Ninh fell.

Hearing this, Lu Yan couldn't help but sigh, it seems that it is really difficult to change history.

But for Zhao'an, he insisted on not accepting.

If his goal has not been achieved, how can he accept Zhao'an.

Jia Xu watched all this quietly, but there was an inexplicable glint in his eyes.

Seeing that Lu Yan's intentions were resolute, Chen Gengyun did not insist on recruiting An.

The path is all chosen by oneself, and everyone is responsible for their own choices.

Since you insist on being a bandit, then fight well.

He didn't owe Lu Yan anything.

So he said goodbye to Lu Yan and returned to Shang Zhouzuo.

Lu Yan didn't embarrass him, and ordered someone to let him leave here.

"Why did you stop me just now?"

Lu Yan asked.

"Don't you think it's a good idea to be appeased?"

Jia Xu said with a smile.

Lu Yan smiled and shook his head, he came to Taiwan with all his hard work, how could he be willing to go.

"For example, adults will find a way to divide Fujian!"

Jia Xu continued.

"Secession of Fujian? How is this possible? ”

Lu Yan said with a smile.

But soon he was stunned again, if he kept fighting, maybe it wasn't impossible.

If the court does not agree, he will fight until the court agrees.

"At least for now, Taiwan is inseparable from the Ming Dynasty. As small as a needle and a thread, as large as steel and gunpowder, all of them have to rely on the Ming Dynasty to input. Instead of entering the prison again and again, he kept bleeding Daming. It is better to call the court for approval at one time, and then run Fujian with heart. If you are worried about cheapening the Jurchens, it is better to send troops to Liaodong immediately after the seizure of Fujian to reinforce the Ming Dynasty. ”

Jia Xu said.

This lord is too soft-hearted, if it was Cao Agui, I am afraid that he would have accounted for half of the Ming Dynasty, where can he care about the life and death of those people.

Hearing this, Lu Yan couldn't help but be moved.

When it comes to war, who is he afraid of?

He will only fight stronger and stronger, if he can divide Fujian, he will not have to worry about the shortage of various materials, and he can completely open up the sea trade and earn a steady stream of silver for his family.

"Secession of Fujian?"

Lu Yan's eyes became brighter and brighter.

"Yes, secession of Fujian."

Jia Xu said with a smile.

But he didn't think it was right in his heart, just to cut off Fujian, he must find a way to let this soft-hearted lord occupy a few more ways.

"Okay then, let's find a way to sweep the whole of Fujian."

An evil smile appeared on Lu Yan's face.

Jia Xu was also pleased, and now the officers and soldiers in Fujian were unlucky.

How to fight next, Lu Yan and Jia Xu had a heated discussion.

Lu Yan felt that the land was lost, and the people and land were lost, so he should first sweep the entire Fujian army, and then find a way to attack the city.

Jia Xu also thinks it's good, but he should first occupy a big city as a stronghold.

Lu Yan agreed with him.

Since the war plan has been changed, the disposition of the Huang family should also be changed.

This time, he copied too many good things in the Huang family, and he copied out 200,000 taels of silver alone.

The main reason is that he found a silver cellar under the Huang family, which was full of large silver ingots of 200 catties, which was offered by a servant of the Huang family on his own initiative.

When Lu Yan found the silver cellar, several people from the Huang family fainted directly to the ground, which was the family wealth that the Huang family's ancestors had accumulated for generations without knowing how many generations.

It's all cheap Lu Yan now.

In addition, there are a large number of gold and silver jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, nearly 10,000 bags of grain, 200,000 catties of refined iron, tin and lead.

got such a huge amount of money, Lu Yan once again became a fortune boy and began to buy people's hearts with the Huang family's things.

All of a sudden, almost everyone in Zhao'an praised Lu Yan as a righteous bandit who robbed the rich and helped the poor, and was willing to give charity.

But now, Lu Yan feels that this is not enough.

So he dispatched cavalry to announce the entire Zhao'an, in view of the Huang family's many evils, forcing Liang to become a prostitute.

Therefore, it was decided to transfer all the population of the Huang family to Dayuan for labor reform, and the poor people of Zhao'an could get a share of the Huang family's land, and other large households could also get his family's shop.

At the same time, he declared that this is only a punishment for the big ones who do a lot of evil, and for the big ones who are kind to others, they will definitely protect the safety of their private property.

Hearing this, Zhao'an was completely shocked.

The Huang family also has at least 10,000 acres of fertile land, but they are the number one big landlord in Zhao'an.

It is not known which poor family will receive a share of his family's property.

But what they are worried about is the government, after all, Lu Yan's identity is a thief, and the land given by Lu Yan is not a bandit.

For a while, the people of Zhao'an had extremely complicated thoughts.

Not only did he want to get a share of the Huang family's land, but he was also worried that he would be retaliated against by the government.

But these years have killed the bold, starved the cowardly.

In this case, there are still people who come to sign up.

Lu Yan did not break his promise, and gave all the land deeds of Huangjiatian's property to these people.

At the same time, he told them to be careful of the government's retaliation, but he assured that he would soon return to Zhao'an.

After completing the robbery in Zhao'an, Lü Yan set sail again and headed for the old town.

Although he grabbed a lot of materials he needed in Zhao'an, they were still far from meeting his needs, and his subordinates in Taiwan urgently needed various materials such as medicinal materials.

Lu Yan planned to capture the old town and transport things back to Taiwan, relieve the pressure of Taiwan's shortage of materials, and then sweep across Fujian.
