Although the damage to Zan Wanshou's ship was not serious, it was also bombed into potholes, so Yu San asked him to move the Thunderbolt army's ship and sent sailors to control the official ship. After everything was ready, the group continued to go upstream to Jiading Mansion. In order to prevent the enemy from attacking again, Yu San sent ships to explore the way first, and then continued to advance after there was no abnormality in the front. Although this way of sailing was safe, the speed was much slower, and it was not until two days later that it reached Jiading City. The defenders of Jiading City had seen the banner of Zhan Wanshou from afar, and a group of officials had already waited at the dock. As soon as the ships docked, they rushed up and welcomed Zhan Wanshou into the city.

Yu San took the same boat with Zan Wanshou and Hou Xing, and the three of them talked a lot on the way. When Hou Xing asked what his relationship with Yu Xing was, Yu San replied with a serious face that he was not a distant relative or clan, but just the same surname, and mercilessly pointed out that the greed and corruption of Yu Xing's father and son were really the scum of the Yu family and ruined the reputation of the surname. Yu San's outspokenness made the two of them both surprised and deeply admired, and felt that Yu San was a person to befriend. "Things gather by like, people by groups", Yu San is so upright, it can also be inferred that Ouyang Xuan, whom he admires very much, is not as unbearable as Yu Xing's mouth, at least not as a person with Yu Xing's father and son.

Yu San reminded Zan Wanshou that although Yu Xing went to Chongqing Mansion, he had been running Jiading Mansion for many years, and it was inevitable that many party members and forces would be intertwined, so he should be cautious. According to his judgment, the person who attacked Zan Wanshou must have been inextricably linked to the Jiading naval army or the Mongol forces. Although the captured firearms were far inferior to those of the Thunderbolt Army, they were far from being able to be manufactured by ordinary bandits, and their performance was even far superior to that of the officers and soldiers outside Xichuan. In addition to the Thunderbolt Army, in addition to the Liu Heima Department of the Sichuan West Mongolian Army, only Yazhou, Jiading and its subordinate Meizhou were the only ones who could manufacture these firearms. Yu San was actually reminding Zan Wanshou that according to the logic of "who benefits the most, who suspects the most", the attacker may be someone inside the Jiading army.

In fact, there is no need for Yu San to remind him, Zan Wanshou also judged that there were people in Jiading Mansion who were dissatisfied with him. His itinerary was only known to the Sichuan Preparation Division, and the Preparation Division sent a clipper to deliver the official document to Jiading Mansion in advance. The Mongol navy had no activity on the Min River, and although Yazhou had a waterway to Jiading, its navy was too weak to organize such a meticulous mass murder operation from a distance. After excluding the above two, the only ones who are most suspicious are the disgruntled people within the Jiading Army. They have the motive and the strength to attack. In view of the dangerous situation and the heavy casualties of the guards, when Yu San proposed to Zan Wanshou to leave fifty special forces to protect his safety, he agreed without hesitation.

In addition to the disgruntled people hidden in the army, Zan Wanshou also had to pay attention to the bureaucrats in the government system. Before he left for Lin'an, he was reminded by important ministers of the DPRK and the central government that after arriving in Jiading, it is not advisable to be too hasty in government affairs, especially to pay attention to proportions in handover matters. We must not press forward step by step with regard to the shortage of military rations, finance, and taxes, and if we really cannot turn a blind eye, it is advisable to "turn big things into small things and small things into small things." According to the Song system, after the new official took office, he needed to carry out the handover of official seals and affairs with the previous officer, and conduct a field inventory of the soldiers and the money and property handled by the subordinates. Since the officials are corrupt and the officials are not greedy, where can these numbers be matched? Therefore, after taking office, many new officials only take stock of the accounts without taking stock of them in order to cover up the deficits and contradictions. As a result, the number of official ledgers alone is very gratifying, but the actual population, soldiers, money and goods are less than half, or even only two or three percent.

The important ministers of the court reminded Zan Wanshou out of kindness. "A strong dragon can't overpower the head snake", every year there are upright new officials, who act impartially after taking office, or are driven away or even killed. Those local snakes are originally strong, and even born as bandits, and they often kill officials who are not in cahoots with them. After all, "robbing people of their money, such as killing their parents", is really a common enmity. Although the imperial court will send troops to clean up this kind of killing officials and rebellion, these local snakes often flee into the mountains and forests. The army of purging and suppressing often failed for several months, and had no choice but to retreat as soon as the grain and grass were exhausted.

As soon as Zan Wanshoufu arrived in Jiading, he announced at the reception banquet that the handover of government affairs would be mainly based on checking the account books, and would no longer spend a lot of time on the physical goods. He thought that his subordinate officials would applaud him, and even be grateful to him, so as to quickly win over a group of loyalists. In this regard, the officials of Jiading showed no waves in their faces or hearts, because they felt that this was an officialdom practice and it should be so. If Zan Wanshou really wants to order an on-the-spot inventory, it will be an enemy of everyone, and the order to verify the population and count the money and grain will not only not be carried out, but he will also become the public enemy of the officials in Jiading, and become a rebel.

Giving up the on-the-spot inventory is only the first step for Zan Wanshou to succumb to the unspoken rules of officialdom, and it is really helpless for him to do so. The accompanying scribes suffered heavy casualties in the attack, and there were no trustworthy people to carry out government affairs. If you fake others, let the local officials in Jiading check themselves? With your toes, you can also think of what the result is. What's worse is that even if you check the deficit, what can you do? Yu Xing has been in charge of Jiading for many years, and the deficit that has been counted is absolutely inseparable from him, and he is even greedy for ink. As a subordinate, Zan Wanshou has no strength to argue with Yu Xing, the top boss, and he is even more powerless to bring him down. Among the bribes received by Yu Xing from the Lin'an royal family and many high-ranking officials in the court, many of them were these money.

It would be unwise to declare war on the corrupt before taking control of Jiading. In this troubled world, only hard words with fists work, Zan Wanshou decided to control the army first. Jiading Prefecture has five counties under its jurisdiction, Meizhou has four counties under its jurisdiction, plus Jingyan County in Longzhou, which is under actual control, and then subtracts Pengshan County, which is controlled by the Thunderbolt Army, there are still nine counties under its rule. According to the official population register and soldier list, there are 150,000 households and 600,000 people in the nine counties of the two prefectures (prefectures), 370,000 people, and 21,000 regular soldiers. Of course, Zan Wanshou knew that the numbers were not true, and the actual number of people and soldiers was only seventy percent or even less of the above numbers at most. The Perak Army Staff estimates the population at 400,000, the population at 270,000, and the regular army at 8,000 to 10,000.

Zan Wanshou decided to inspect the various prefectures and counties under his rule, on the one hand, to understand the situation on the spot and make sure that he knew what to do. "Only by knowing the enemy can we survive a hundred battles." If we do not grasp the general situation of the soldiers and money and food in our hands, we will definitely lose the battle when we start a war. And if you lose the battle, it will be difficult for you to gain a firm foothold in Jiading; On the other hand, it is also to show closeness to the officials and subordinates of the state and county and the generals and colonels in the army, so as to increase their favorability, so that the state and county magistrates and generals in the army have scruples when they coerce them against themselves. After the reception, he left the naval generals to ask if there was anything unusual about the ships and artillery. Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened his mouth, the general of the navy said that a few days ago, a junior colonel and his subordinates had deserted, and had taken away ships and firearms, leaving himself and the attack clean. Hou Xing went to the navy to investigate the situation again, and the generals and soldiers kept silent, saying that they did not know about it.
