Needless to say, the seized materials greatly alleviated the material shortage in Guangzhou.

The focus of the three-element concept has always been on the side of Guangzhou, and some time ago it was anxious to become a fat man in one bite, to get a lot of industries, and there are many counties around Guangzhou to manage, so it is impossible to free up manpower to intervene in the governance of these newly conquered cities in a short period of time.

In this way, the state capitals west of Zhongshan are basically under the pocket of the mixed Yuan Sect, and many administrators will be assigned to govern it.

In fact, people with a discerning eye can see that there should have been a secret agreement between the Mixed Yuan Sect and the Sanyuan Sect for a long time, that is, the Sanyuan Concept has obtained the prosperous areas of Guangzhou and its surroundings, and the Mixed Yuan Sect occupies the vast areas further outer, which is also in line with Li Xian's remarks that the personnel composition of Guangzhou is too complex and not suitable for the real rear.

Yangjiang is an important mineral base with large iron ore and copper mines, both of which have reserves of more than tens of millions of tons, and there are many other important minerals, which are of great significance to the next industrial development of the Huaxia Army.

The Mixed Yuan Sect has an extremely good public base in Leizhou, and has recruited tens of thousands of soldiers here, that is, before the arrival of the army, the officials of Leizhou have been doing things with the snort of the people left behind in the Mixed Yuan Sect, and at this time, there is naturally a grand occasion of the people welcoming them.

After resting in Leizhou for three days, Li Xian led the Southern Expeditionary Army to attack again, but this time instead of by land, he set sail and went straight to Qiongzhou on Hainan Island.

Before the occupation of Guangzhou, the Mixed Yuan Sect had held many successful pirate raids, captured more than a dozen British armed merchant ships, and still owned eight large ocean-going ships of more than 1,000 tons after losing several ships in a hard fight with the British Navy.

The British used such an armed merchant ship to invade Fujian once more than ten years ago, but the Fujian naval division of the Qing Dynasty used all their forces, but they could not prevent an armed merchant ship from breaking through the fire and entering the port, so they had to allow it to enter the port and leave after trading.

With these eight ships alone, the Mixed Yuan Sect was able to completely crush the Qiongzhou Naval Division and occupy the entire territory of Hainan Island.

What's more, the Huaxia Army has traded with the British many times before, and currently has a total of fifteen large ships of more than 1,000 tons, and a number of imitation or purchased steam engine ships, and the number of Chinese-style hard sailing ships in its hands is even larger.

At this time, the population of Hainan Island was less than 1.5 million, and it was still a well-known poor place in Guangdong, and the army and navy on the island together numbered more than 7,000 people, and they were also divided into the three prefectures of Qiongzhou, Yazhou, and Danzhou and their county seats.

Li Xian led 5,000 navy and 5,000 army to the south, directly captured Qiongzhou, captured almost all the Qiongzhou Weisuo army of less than 4,000 people, and also captured hundreds of fishing boats and small and medium-sized merchant ships.

When the war was over, the entire city of Qiongzhou was occupied, and the counties mentioned in Qiongzhou had been declared vassals, but Li Xian summoned Qin Rigang of the Heaven and Earth Society to hold a sincere negotiation.

Qin Rigang received more than two million taels of property when he integrated the Heaven and Earth Society in the previous time, and there were thousands or even tens of thousands of young men as his subordinates, so this time he recruited and equipped 1,500 people to follow the main force of the Huaxia Army to go out together, which was the time when the spring breeze was proud.

"That Qin Daxia, we have taken this Qiongzhou, what do you think of this Qiongzhou?" Li Xian asked Qin Rigang.

"Since I am in the army, I have to abide by the rules of the army, and the commander still calls me the head of the Qin regiment.

This dilapidated and impoverished place in Qiongzhou is just a pity for hundreds of thousands of people and this geographical location. Qin Rigang said.

Qin Rigang also made great efforts to learn all kinds of knowledge during this time, and his vision and insight were much stronger than before, and he felt that Qiongzhou, as a key port from Nanyang to the Qing Dynasty, was so poor.

"This Qiongzhou is actually a good place, rich in products, with Qiongbu production, as well as tea, it is really necessary to govern carefully, it is not difficult to become a rich place.

The best thing is that the geographical location is very good, and if you develop maritime trade, you will definitely be able to make a lot of money.

I intend to give Qiongzhou to Qin Daxia, and the Heaven and Earth Society will have full authority to manage Qiongzhou, I don't know what Qin Daxia wants?"

Qin Rigang couldn't help but be stunned, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

"I don't know what the boss means when he says gifting?" Qin Rigang asked cautiously after a while.

"Literally, of course.

Qin Daxia is familiar with military strategy, so he should know that no matter whether it is the Mixed Yuan Sect or the Sanyuan Temple, there is a shortage of manpower now, and there is no extra energy to send people to govern Qiongzhou, let alone extra troops to be sent to garrison this place.

It's just that it's not a way to leave such a place empty, and it's even more troublesome to be secretly attacked by people from the Qing court.

Therefore, I want to give Qiongzhou to the Heaven and Earth Society for governance, and in the future, the appointment and dismissal of local officials in Qiongzhou, as well as taxation and management, will be handled by Qin Daxia's side, and we will no longer care about the Mixed Yuan Sect and the Sanyuan Temple.

However, since Qin Daxia got Qiongzhou, he also has to bear the corresponding responsibility, that is, to lead the troops to be stationed in Qiongzhou, so as not to cause chaos here.

I don't know what Qin Daxia thinks?" asked Li Xian.

"It's... This is a bit too sudden, and I asked the coach Rong Qin to go back and think about it carefully. ”

"That's the way it should be, I just hope Qin Daxia can reply quickly, if you don't look down on this poor place, I have to find another home and send this place out." Li Xian said with a smile.

Qin Rigang went back to discuss with the brothers in the gang, and thought about it for a long time, and only found Li Xian with dark circles under his eyes the next day.

"Li Shuai said yesterday that he would find a home for Qiongzhou, is the next home he said referring to Yang Tianming of the Demon Sect?" Qin Rigang immediately asked as soon as he saw Li Xian.

"Not really. Yang Tianming himself would like to have a place to stay, but he has his eye on Qinzhou, not here. ”

"I see, what about Yazhou and Danzhou, can they be governed by Qin?"

"Yazhou is not easy to do. The head of the Huashan faction, Yue Zhangmen, and the head of the Fuwei Dart Bureau, Mr. Lin, both took a fancy to Yazhou and wanted to work together to win Yazhou as the foundation of the inheritance of the faction.

As for Danzhou, you can consider giving it to Qin Daxia, but with the strength of Qin Daxia's side, swallowing two states at a time, I'm afraid I can't catch it.

In this regard, Qin Daxia can discuss it with the chief helmsman of your association. ”

"Oh, then Qin understands. Qin Rigang nodded, this time he really understood.

Li Xian said it nicely here, he wanted to send Qiongzhou to Qin Rigang, but in fact, he wanted to send Qin Rigang from Guangzhou to Qiongzhou, and to put it more ugly, it was to expel him.
