In late August, the QZ City Shipping Division was reopened, and Xie Kan, the Tongzhi of Quanzhou Prefecture, was transferred to the Municipal Shipping Department as the Municipal Shipping Envoy, with full responsibility for the foreign maritime trade affairs of the QZ Municipal Shipping Division.

The news of the reopening of the QZ City Shipping Division immediately caused an uproar among the maritime merchants, and for a time, merchant ships from various countries rushed to the port of Quanzhou to transport valuable porcelain, tea, and silk to the West.

The Dutch were the first to learn of the reopening, so most of the foreign merchant ships in and out of Quanzhou were Dutch, followed by Portuguese and Spanish.

On the wall of the Yongning Acropolis, Huang Ruxin, who had recovered most of his injuries, looked at the merchant ships flying the Dutch flag sailing on the distant sea, gritted his teeth, and hated in his heart, the company commander stood beside him, patted him lightly on the shoulder, and comforted:

"Bear with me for a few more months, now is the typhoon period, and His Highness did not send troops immediately for the sake of the overall situation."

"The villain knows." Huang Ruxin said: "But the villain is hate, and hatred can only watch the enemy show off his might on the sea, and he can't do anything." ”

The company commander sighed after hearing this, didn't say any more, just patted him on the shoulder again, and turned to leave.

Su Yan's move to reopen the port of Quanzhou made the gradually declining port of Quanzhou prosperous again, and the porcelain of Dehua, the tea of Anxi, the silk transported from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the cotton fabrics made of textile factories were also transported to the port of Quanzhou, and were bought by the seamen for the silver of white flowers, and carried onto the ship by coolies, carrying the captain's desire to make a fortune and sailing into the distance.

Perhaps the prestige of the Zheng sailors still exists, although the pirates and pirates coveted the wealth of Quanzhou Port, but they did not dare to make a move on Quanzhou Port, and merchant ships would only be robbed by pirates when they sailed into the South China Sea or the South Sea, but that was none of Su Yan's business.

Even if there is a risk of being robbed, but businessmen from all over the world still go to Quanzhou Port one after another, as the so-called people die for money, birds die for food, this is the truth.

……

Look back to Jiangxi.

The offensive against Fuzhou and Yang Jie gradually kicked off, and after the Dingnan Hou Cao Dahao led nearly 20,000 people to join forces with Zhang Mingyang and Su Dingyuan to break through Jinxi County, he recruited troops and horses in the local area, and the force rapidly expanded by more than 3,000 people, and then claimed to be an army of 100,000 and attacked Fuzhou.

Cao Dahao's momentum was to attract the attention of the Qing army and cover Zhang Mingyang and Su Dingyuan's soldiers and horses, and his purpose was successful - as soon as the Qing army in Fuzhou heard that the Ming army was so strong, they immediately asked Yang Jie for help, and shrank their forces and prepared to hold on.

Although Yang Jie did not think that Cao Dahao's troops could quickly grow to 100,000 people, he was also vigilant enough, in order to prevent the fall of Fuzhou and the retreat route was cut off, he had to give up continuing to besiege Jianchang Mansion, and retreated to the north under the cover of night in a dark night.

On the way to retreat, Yang Jie also sent several scouts to find out the movements of the army, mainly to find out the location of Zhang Mingyang and Su Dingyuan, the two really effective Ming troops - he knew very well that the Ming army attacked Fuzhou with uncharacteristic fanfare, and there must be some conspiracy behind it.

However, Yang Jie soon knew.

After Cao Dahao led his army to occupy Jinxi County and drove to Fuzhou, Zhang Mingyang and Su Dingyuan's soldiers and horses separated from the former's army, and marched all night to their predetermined ambush point under the cover of a large area of forest in Jiangxi, and finally set up an ambush on both sides of the Dangyan Slope before the Qing army passed.

During the period of ambush, Zhang Mingyang was also shocked by the performance of the soldiers, and swept away the prejudices of the past - whether it was the Cossack infantry of the Qinglong Right Brigade or the soldiers and horses under Su Dingyuan, they could be quiet and silent in the ambush in the mountains and forests, except for eating and drinking and solving internal emergencies, they would not make the slightest sound, which was almost the same as their usual performance.

It is precisely because of this that many Qing scouts passed under their noses without noticing them, and at first there were scouts who tried to shoot arrows into the mountains and forests, and when they saw that the arrows flew in without making any sound, they continued to move forward with confidence.

Unbeknownst to everyone, the arrow he shot hit an unlucky soldier, but he immediately covered his mouth and forcibly endured the pain to prevent himself from making the slightest sound, and it was not until after the scout was gone that he dared to gasp for breath and let the robe be bandage him.

This scene happened to fall into Zhang Mingyang's eyes, which undoubtedly refreshed his vision, in his cognition, I am afraid that only the Qi family army under Qi Shaobao can do it to such an extent.

On August 25, the Qing army finally arrived at Dangyanpo under the leadership of Yang Jie, and tens of thousands of Qing troops marched by land and water.

Even though the scouts sent to detect that there was no danger ahead, Yang Jie, out of prudence, still placed the ship he was riding in the middle of the protected fleet, and in front of the front army under the command of his lieutenant Li Longen, to ensure that once the fleet was attacked, he could also sit firmly in the army and command the army to fight back.

However, he seems to have overlooked one factor - that is, the handsome flag flying high on the ship he was on, this handsome flag can stabilize the morale of the army, but it also reveals a message to the possible enemy, Yang Jie is on this ship.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the Qing army's front army was about to pass through the Dangyan Slope, and the deputy general Li Longen stood on the bow deck of the ship, looking at the birds echoing and circling over the mountains and forests on both sides, and couldn't help but say to the soldiers around him: "This place is worthy of the name Dangyan Slope, and the birds are reverberating and circling in the sky, which is really worthy of the name." ”

The hometown of the pro-soldier was in this area, and when he heard Li Longen's words, his face turned pale, and he said hesitantly: "General, general, this place is not called Dangyanpo because of the reason you just said. ”

"What?" Li Longen was surprised, but soon, he reacted, looked at the mountains and forests on both sides in shock, and before he could blurt out the guess in his heart, he heard a cannon sound on both sides of the Fu River, and several black dots flew in the sky, flying towards the Qing army fleet on the Fu River!

"Enemy attack!"

Rumble!

As the shells fell into the fleet, several deafening explosions suddenly sounded, and the flowering shells fired by 12 12-pounder infantry howitzers and 12 4-inch mortars rained down on the Fuhe River and its banks, instantly blowing up the Qing army and causing heavy losses.

Immediately, the Ming army's fierce attack horn sounded on both sides, and countless Ming troops rushed out of the mountains and forests with shouts to kill the Qing soldiers on land, who fell into confusion after being attacked, and were completely unable to organize an effective counterattack, and the volley of Ming troops before the charge exacerbated their confusion.

The Ming army that rushed out of the mountains and forests soon collided head-on with the Qing army on land, and the two sides immediately fell into hand-to-hand combat.
