Since ancient times, the Han people have prayed for good weather in China, but Fujian is an exception.

Fujian people don’t have to worry about good weather, because this land has reached such a barren point: even if the weather is good, there will be no harvest. Before the appearance of sweet potatoes, Fujian people were very interested in farming. When poor mountains and bad waters reached this state, people had to make another way to make a living.

Going to sea is the way for Fujian people to live. They have been born by the sea for generations. Until the Ming Dynasty forbidden sea, even larger fishing boats were not allowed to go into the sea. Therefore, Fujian people, especially the people, have a very low sense of belonging to the Ming Dynasty. This is by no means the fault of Fujian people. After all, everyone must survive and everyone wants to have a full meal.

The appearance of Zheng Zhilong made the people of Fujian see the dawn. They are willing to work hard for this pirate king because he can take them back to the hunting grounds of his ancestors, the vast sea. Do sea business, travel to Southeast Asia, Luzon and Ryukyu, and Japan. This is the life that Fujian people long for. No one is willing to eat sweet potatoes for the rest of their lives. Fujian people are eager to go out to sea, long for boats, and long for business. Zheng Zhilong did a lot of good things in Fujian and left a lot of good policies.

"If Zhejiang soldiers enter Fujian, they must plan to be enemies on all sides. Only by pacifying Fujian as soon as possible can they minimize casualties." Hou Xuanyan sat on a large bluestone slab in front of Xianxia Pass, holding his knees and making a speech before the war: "It's getting colder day by day. After the war is over earlier, we can go home for the New Year."

In Pucheng County, the gentry had no feeling of a war coming. In their opinion, General Li Chengdong was about to shoot out Xianxia Pass and attack Zhejiang. In front of the government office in the city, several soldiers walked lazily, holding a large gun in their hands.

County Zunbai Chongzan held a fine porcelain and gold-inlaid wine cup and sipped the wine happily, playing the strings and bamboo orchestras. Six beautiful girls in the singing and dancing sounds were dancing gracefully in the hall.

Bai Chongzan looked at Li Chengdong's eyes as he looked at the girl with naked desire, and he felt very contemptuous, but he chuckled on his face: "These dancers were bought from Hangzhou, and they all have the tenderness of women in the water town of Jiangnan. They are not only pleasing to the eyes, but also the charm between beds is wonderful."

Li Chengdong was raised by him and said disapprovingly: "The women in Hangzhou are beautiful, and they don't have the charm of Yangzhou. I followed Prince Yu... and that dog thief Duoduo, uh, haha, good wine, good wine, Lord Bai."

Halfway through his words, he remembered that he was now a member of the Ming Dynasty. Although Zheng Zhilong fought in the name of revenge for the empress dowager, he was also an official of the Ming Dynasty. Those despicable things he did in Yangzhou could not be explained by Ming.

Bai Chongzan deliberately pretended not to hear it, raised his wine glass and said happily: "The general was valued by Duke Pingguo and brought troops out of Fujian and Zhejiang. This is a feat for the country and the people. The subordinate officials wished the general a victory in the flag and played a triumphant song early."

Li Chengdong frowned. He couldn't fight Xianxia Pass at all. He spent all day in Puxian eating, drinking and having fun. Now it seems that this small county magistrate has an objection to him. According to Li Chengdong's past record, he doesn't know how many such county magistrates have killed, but he really dares not offend him. The reason why Bai Chongzan is so arrogant is because his sister is Zheng Zhilong's concubine. He raised his wine glass, drank heavily, and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Bai doesn't know that Xianxia Pass is not another place. Zhejiang soldiers were scared by us and hurried inside the pass and dared not show up. If I attacked for a strong force, I could break Xianxia Pass, but I would definitely suffer heavy losses. Duke Pingguo was fighting with the rebel Xia Wanchun in Guangzhou. If the soldiers in my hand were too much, I was afraid that Hou Xuanyan would be angry and make peace with the Qing soldiers, and then mobilized all the troops in the north to go south. At that time, it would cause trouble to Pingguo Gong."

Bai Chongzan knew nothing about military affairs among the corps. He relied on his younger sister to get to his current status. When he heard Li Chengdong's words, he believed it seven points in his heart. After all, in his opinion, it was possible for Hou Xuanyan to make peace with the Qing Dynasty. If he were Hou Xuanyan, he would have surrendered long ago. But when he thought that these soldiers would have to be stationed in Puxian for a long time, he felt uncomfortable and sighed and said, "After that being said, it is difficult for a small place like Puxian to accommodate 50,000 or 60,000 soldiers for a long time. Is there any way for the general?"

Sixty thousand big-headed soldiers were around Pu County, and the military discipline was not good, so big-headed soldiers caused trouble from time to time. He was annoyed by the county magistrate, and his food, clothing and expenses often reached out to the county. He also had to be responsible for the transportation of supplies and renovated official roads. For such a county magistrate who was nepotist and only wanted to enjoy himself, it was a headache to see it.

As soon as he said here, a loud roar outside the door: "General, Daqiong is back."

Li Daqiong is Li Chengdong's subordinate and his confidant. He stayed at Xianxia Ridge with 10,000 troops. When Li Chengdong heard that he was coming, he was shocked and sweated. All the wine he drank today turned into sweat and suddenly stood up.

Li Daqiong rolled and crawled, and did not support him. When he entered the hall, the girl who was dancing was so scared that she was so scared that she covered her mouth and exclaimed. He saw that he was covered in blood, and could see the bones that could be seen with blood. He simply bandaged and broke away during the violent running. His face looked extremely ferocious due to pain and fatigue.

Li Chengdong didn't care about anything else, and stepped forward to support him and asked, "What's going on? Didn't you let you stay under the gate?"

"General...General, it's not good, Zhejiang soldiers... Zhejiang soldiers are going down the mountain." Li Daqiong's teeth were trembling constantly, and he was stuttering when he spoke. His face was full of panic. When he saw his expression, Li Chengdong had guessed that something was wrong. He knew his beloved general. If it weren't for the urgent situation, Li Daqiong would not have shown such a panic attitude.

"Don't worry, let's talk slowly, how many people have arrived in Zhejiang soldiers? Who led them?" When he received the news, Hou Xuanyan had just left the Huai'an front line. No matter how big the Li Chengdong had a big idea, he could not have thought that Hou Xuanyan would not even sleep. He rushed to Xianxia Pass with panda eyes.

"The mountains and fields are all... they are all Zhejiang soldiers, he... they come up... and they are desperate, and the brothers can't resist it."

Bai Chongzan heard this and panicked, and said in a sharp voice: "What's the use of you? Li Chengdong, didn't you say they were scared by you? You are so brave. You put the Zhejiang soldiers in the world, and my brother-in-law and you will never end up with you."
