The catastrophe of Hai'an has not yet spread, and most of the Ming soldiers in Huben Town have withdrawn from Hai'an.

The Ming army's Fuyang Town Water Division began to move westward, heading towards the east field.

The more than 100 officers and soldiers of Huben Town who remained on the shore headed towards Xu Wen in a farther direction.

At this moment, the Ming army sailors seem to be playing a competition, a battle to grab people.

The Xun soldiers in the east field were not as numerous as Hai'an, and there were only more than 20 officers and soldiers guarding here.

When they saw the Ming army's naval fleet coming violently, these Qing officers and soldiers guarding the east field immediately scattered and fled.

Left behind the people of Dongchang who did not know about it.

At this moment, the people of the East Field are working.

Some of them are out to sea to fish, and some are drying fish.

There's even a salt pan of no small size.

During this period, salt was hard currency.

As the Ming army arrived in the east field, the land and sea merchants couldn't help but have their eyes shining when they saw the salt field.

Hurriedly beckoned Hermes-Epitek from the salt farm to transport the salt to the sea ship.

Seeing this, the generals of the Ming army were angry, their purpose was to plunder the people, not to grab salt for the land and sea.

In the end, the two sides went to the deputy general Miao Qian to calm down.

The Ming army agreed to help Lu Hai escort the salt, but the profits from the salt sale were to be divided into 30% to Fuyang Town.

This made the merchants of Luhai laugh from ear to ear.

In Luzon, the right to sell salt and iron was in the hands of the Ming court.

Merchants from all over the world needed permission from the Ming court to sell salt.

On the issue of salt, Ming Ting made a very strange move.

That is, the Luzon Ming court allowed merchants from all over the world to make salt.

The salt factories in Luzon were founded by merchants from all over the world.

But the merchants did not have the right to sell salt.

In other words, merchants could open salt factories to make sea salt and well salt, but they did not have the right to sell it.

Either the sea salt is sold to the government at a low price, and the government sells it to the people, earning the difference.

Either merchants from all over the world buy a license to sell sea salt from the government at a high price, and sell it under the condition of paying 30% of the tax.

And Ming Ting also deliberately exposed a flaw to these salt merchants of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce.

That is, the Ming court will not care about the smuggling of salt merchants by sea.

In other words, if you make a pound of salt in Luzon and sell it to Guangdong through smuggling, the Ming court acquiesces.

This allows businessmen from all over the world to see business opportunities.

You must know that the price of sea salt in Luzon is much lower than that of sea salt in the Liangguang area.

After all, the salt factories in Luzon were supervised by the merchants themselves, not like the salt factories in the Qing Dynasty, which were all government-run.

Without the bureaucracy's layers of deductions and deliberate price increases, the price of sea salt transported to the Liangguang region by sea was much lower than that of the Qing government.

For a time, these merchants from all over the world made a lot of money and saved the financial crisis of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce.

Originally, the Ming Court's successive campaigns had already emptied the wealth of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce, but who would have thought that the sale of illicit salt at sea would inadvertently bring back a wave of blood to the Four Seas.

It also made businessmen from all over the world more grateful to Liu Yu.

Of course, this also quickly aroused the alarm of the Qing Dynasty government.

Soon began to suppress these smuggling salt merchants, but the merchants in the Guangzhou shopping malls protected each other, and there were even night markets between towns.

The smuggling of this salt merchant has also been repeatedly prohibited.

After all, the common people can not eat meat and not drink alcohol, but salt is a necessity.

As the saying goes, three catties of salt are worth 100 quintals of rice.

With such a high price of salt from the government, how can the poor people in Guangdong afford to consume it?

At the risk of killing your head, you have to buy low-priced salt from all over the world.

Looking at these salt mountains now, the land and sea merchants smiled from ear to ear.

If these sea salts are sold to Qiongzhou, Jiading, Luzon, and Siam, the profit will not be

Know how many times it will be doubled.

After all, it is the official salt of the Qing court, and it doesn't even need the cost.

The Ming officers and soldiers stayed in the east field for three whole days.

During this period, in addition to plundering more than 2,000 people, he also took away the entire shipload of sea salt.

If it weren't for the threat of the last Ming generals, I'm afraid these land and sea merchants wouldn't want to leave.

And at this moment, the people in the direction of Xu Wen also suffered a huge catastrophe.

Ming officers and soldiers plundered here for two days and two nights.

The Xu Wen area was left without a chicken.

In the end, more than 100 Ming officers and soldiers, and more than 3,000 Qing civilians who were escorted, went in the direction of the coastal Hai'an Station.

Since the accompanying merchant ships could not carry so many Han people, the Ming officers and soldiers simply stayed at the Hai'an Station and waited for the next wave of ships to arrive.

In just a few days, the sailors of Fuyang Town plundered more than 7,000 Han people and went to Qiongzhou.

During this period, the merchant ships of the Ming Sea were not idle.

More than 20 galleons of the Ming Sea shuttled between the harbors.

Prisoners of war of the Qing army and Han civilians were escorted to Jiading or Luzon.

Since Jiading County is in the direction of Annan and the closest to Qiong Island, Minghai gave priority to sending a large number of people to Jiading.

After all, the sea journey to Luzon is relatively long and dangerous, and I am also afraid of some strong winds and waves, and I will lose manpower and material resources in vain.

When the officials of Leizhou Prefecture learned of the news that pirates were plundering civilians along the coast, it was already two days later.

After hearing the news, Gao Lianlei was furious, and hurriedly mobilized the Qing troops of Sanfu to go to Dongchang and Haining to suppress bandits.

However, it took time for the Qing army to assemble in various places, and the march on foot could not match the speed of the Ming army on warships.

By the time the Qing officers and soldiers arrived at the East Field, it had already been a matter of a few days later.

At this time, not to mention the people of Dongchang, even the salt mountains in the salt field were completely moved by land and sea merchants.

The Qing army Qian, who was so angry that he led the troops to come, scolded loudly.

And when the Qing army in Leizhou Mansion slaughtered Xu Wen and Dongchang violently, the sailor of Fuyang Town quietly came to Haikang.

Haikang is located in the western part of the Leizhou Peninsula, and at this moment, if the Qing army wants to get the news, they will rush to the beach on foot, and I am afraid that it will be another day.

The Ming officers and soldiers in Fuyang Town just wanted to beat the Qing army for a time difference.

The Qing army was caught off guard and exhausted.

Due to the previous tragedy of the Hai'an Institute, the Qing army and flood soldiers of the Haikang Institute strengthened their vigilance.

In addition to guarding Haikang, more than 100 Xiangyong were urgently recruited to guard the Haikang area.

This time, the Qing army learned wisely, and no longer blocked the Ming army on the coastline, but went to the coastal defense wall to block it.

The simple coastal defense wall is made of large blocks of stone, and the defense is amazing.

The Ming army gathered hundreds of troops in one day, attacked several rounds, and used more than a dozen artillery pieces, including the Franco cannon, but it was impossible to overcome this simple sea city for a while.

Angry, the officers and men unloaded two Tiger cannons from the Tiger Ben warship overnight.

Due to the proximity of Haicheng to the coastline, the two tiger cannons were pulled under the city at noon.

With several rounds of shelling by the Tiger Artillery, the coastal defense wall finally collapsed no longer.

The so-called previous Qing army had already suffered more than half of the casualties, and the remaining villagers could not bear it at all and fled in all directions.

The Ming army directly captured the coastal defense wall in one fell swoop.

In this battle, the Ming army suffered many casualties, which made the deputy general Miao Qiana heartbroken.

Fortunately, the Qing army only held out for one day.

Before the Qing army could react, the Ming army quickly plundered Haikang.

Before the arrival of Qing reinforcements, more than 3,000 civilians were escorted away from the coast.

Three days after the news of Leizhou's attack by the pirates reached Guangzhou.

The Canton general was furious.

He didn't expect that the Haikou who attacked Qiongzhou would have the audacity to plunder Leizhou

Finish.

In addition to ordering the major sea towns in Guangzhou Prefecture to strengthen their vigilance, that is, ordering Gao Lianlei's general army to quickly send troops to exterminate the Haikou bandits.

When the general soldiers of Leizhou learned of the order of the general of Guangzhou, they also couldn't cry or laugh.

This coward has come and gone without a trace, where will he go to exterminate it?

Could it be that he wants to deploy Qing officers and soldiers to defend the coastal areas of Leizhou?

At this moment, he had to repair a letter and report it to General Guangzhou, asking the two regions to assemble naval divisions and warships to go to sea to exterminate the naval bandits.
