On the fifth day of November, the rebel army conquered Hui'an County, and the Qing garrison Qiu Zhengqing and the county magistrate Liu Jian abandoned the city and fled, and the entire territory of Quanzhou was now under the command of Su Yan.

After conquering Hui'an County, Su Yan asked Chen Qiao, who had not yet issued the results of the government examination, to postpone the release, and reassigned the fifth-ranked scholar to Hui'an County, and a group of scholars who were not hired were also transferred to serve in Hui'an County, and then announced the results of the government examination.

At the same time as sending the envoy, Su Yan also thought that it was too quiet to return to Quanzhou like this, so he led the army to continue north, all the way to Meizhou Bay, across Meizhou Bay to the Qing army occupied area on the opposite bank, showing off his might, and then leaving the Yiwu battalion in Hui'an County to guard against the Qing army and withdraw to Quanzhou City.

Although Su Yan's move did not bring much loss to the Qing army, it still made Zhang Yingmeng, the land governor who was stationed in Xinghua Mansion in person, very angry, but he did not have the energy to retaliate back, because he received a letter from Chen Jin, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang-Pingnan General Jin Li had entered Fujian, and Chen Jin asked him to return to Fuzhou Mansion to meet Jin Li with him and bribe Jin Li to gag his mouth.

Well, the news of the fall of Quanzhou Mansion was still blocked by Chen Jin in Fujian Province, and it had not yet been sent to the north, and the ships to the north were also stopped by Chen Jin under the pretext of guarding against sea reverse, to ensure that the news would not be sent to Jingshi.

But this is not enough, they also need to bribe Jin Li and block Jin Li's mouth in order to save everything before the court knows about it.

So, regardless of the pain of the money he had accumulated over the years, Zhang Yingmeng temporarily handed over the command to his deputy general, and led his own troops north to return to Fuzhou, preparing to bribe Jin Li's money taels.

After Zhang Yingmeng left, the Qing army in Xinghua Prefecture did not move, and did not carry out the retaliatory action that Su Yan imagined, and the two armies fell into a strange peace.

At the same time as Zhang Yingmeng returned to Fuzhou, Su Yan also set off on a journey to Xiamen Island.

For the sake of safety, on this departure, he summoned the sixth-rank ships and two-masted shore defense ships that he had obtained at the beginning, and brought two teams of line infantry, if something really happened, although the two teams of line infantry could not escort him away, they could also delay for a while.

Of course, although Su Yan didn't think that Zhu Chenggong would attack him, he still wanted it just in case.

On the morning of the eighth day of November, Su Yan left Quanzhou Port by boat, headed south along the coastline, and soon after sailing to Jintou Bay, he was discovered by Zheng's sailors stationed on Kinmen Island, and after confirming his identity, he introduced the two warships into Xiamen Port in the southwest of Xiamen Island.

At this time, Xiamen Island was far from being prosperous in later generations, and there were only people living in the city of Zhongzuo on the huge island, and the land of every inch of land in later generations was basically wasteland at this time, and only the place near the city of thousands of households was reclaimed.

Xiamen harbor is already full of warships, hundreds of warships docked in this natural harbor, the port is full of people, countless shirtless men repair warships, farther land, a large number of soldiers in armor holding weapons, neatly drill military formation.

As soon as Su Yan's two warships sailed into the port, they attracted the attention of many people on the ground, who looked at this warship with a strong Taixi style in amazement, and thought to themselves which short-sighted Xiyi fleet fought with Wang Shi and was captured.

However, after the warship entered the port, they looked at the flag of "Fengtian Capture the General" hanging high, and they were all stunned, this flag only came from Quanzhou a day or two ago, and after people's word of mouth, they all knew that it was Su Yan, who had captured Quanzhou Mansion not long ago.

What's even more exciting is that there is a rumor that circulated from the mansion of the national surname, saying that this Su Yan is likely to become the brother-in-law of the current national surname, and then seeing that he is coming by boat now, many people will remember this rumor.

Feng Chengshi, who had already gotten the news, stood in front of the crowd, he looked at the two brand-new warships, and secretly wondered where Su Yan got these two brand-new Western-style warships, why didn't he remember that there was a fleet of Francophiles sailing into Quanzhou recently?

In addition, after returning from the other side, he also asked about the firearms equipped by Su Yan, the Franc machine man who was stranded in the Zhongzuo Station, and after listening to his description, the Franc machine was taken aback and explained to Feng Chengshi that these firearms were called flintlock pistols and had been equipped in the armies of the Taixi countries, but he did not expect that in this far east, the army equipped with flintlock pistols could also be seen.

Therefore, this Franc machine man tried his best to ask to meet Su Yan, but Feng Chengshi ignored it.

The battleship docked at the port, put down the long pedal, and in the curious eyes of everyone, Su Yan took the lead in stepping down from the deck, he did not wear the Western-style uniform that seemed to be deviant here, but wore an ordinary robe, and walked off the battleship surrounded by the guards, and stepped on the land.

Seeing Su Yan come down, Feng Chengshi took the initiative to greet him, bowed his hand, and said with a smile: "General Su, I've been waiting here for a long time." ”

"Mr. Feng, don't come unharmed." Su Yan also bowed and said with a smile: "I made an appointment with the surname of the country to talk about it today, how can I violate the agreement of the day." ”

"The surname of the country has set up a banquet in the mansion, just waiting for General Su to go." Feng Chengshi said, leaned sideways slightly, made a gesture of please, and said, "Please go with me." ”

Su Yan bowed his head, Chen Ying also pulled his mount off the boat at this time, and he was about to get on the horse, but at this moment, a figure with curly hair suddenly rushed out of the crowd, and just after he took a step, he was directly pressed to the ground by the soldiers on guard.

Su Yan and the others were also taken aback by the person who suddenly rushed out, he even subconsciously thought that there was an assassin, but when he looked at it again, he saw that the other party actually had a foreigner's face, so he was surprised: "Foreigner? ”

Feng Chengshi was also startled, and after he came to his senses, he pointed at the foreigner and scolded: "You barbarian, you can't stay in the mansion well, why are you doing here?" ”

"Feng joins the army, I'm here to see General Su." The foreigner spoke a somewhat awkward official dialect and said, "You don't let me come to see me, I can only come by myself." ”

"You!"

Feng Chengshi wanted to scold again, but was stopped by Su Yan, he looked at the foreigner's face curiously, and then looked at his curly hair, and had an inference in his heart, so he asked, "Are you Portuguese?" ”

Since Pedro came to the East, it was the first time he heard the name of his country from other people's mouths, his nose was sore, he almost burst into tears, but he still said excitedly: "General Su, I didn't expect you to know Portugal, my home country!" ”

"In addition to Portugal, I know Castile, France and England." Su Yan smiled and said, "Are you a merchant who came here from Portugal to trade?" ”

Before Perrod could reply, the soldier who held him down saw that the two of them were talking happily, and let go of Perrod.

Perrod hurriedly stood up, followed the example of Mingren and saluted, "Exactly." ”

After speaking, he remembered something, patted his head, and introduced himself: "General Su, my name is Perod, and I am now staying in the Center and Left Institute, and if I have the opportunity, I hope to have a detailed discussion with the general." ”

Su Yan smiled and bowed, and did not directly agree, the current Portuguese are being beaten by the British East India Company in East Asia, and he has no intention of cooperating with the Portuguese for the time being, if there is anything in the future, let's talk about it.

After that, he didn't pay any attention to this foreigner, and said to Feng Chengshi: "Mr. Feng, let's go." ”

"Please." Feng Cheng Shidao.
