If the area with the strongest influence of maritime merchants in Fujian is Quanzhou. Quanzhou was once one of the important ports for the Tang Dynasty's foreign trade, which was ranked alongside Guangzhou Port. The grand scenery of thousands of sails gathered and covered the sky and the sun has now become a yellow flower in the past, but although the penetration and influence of maritime merchants in this place has weakened, it has not disappeared.

Especially after Zheng Yu and other maritime merchants were supported by Gao Xiangsheng and were able to return to their old business, under the operation of the Tang Dynasty's Inner Guards, maritime merchants infiltrated the officials and soldiers here more frequently.

During these difficult days, these people can live a relatively comfortable life without being hungry and cold, which is due to Zheng Yu and others who are still engaged in maritime trade in the name of smuggling.

And now, it's time for them to give back.

It seems that Zheng Yu and others are now beaten by Rong Hong and retreating step by step to Quanzhou. But anyone with a little knowledge can see the current situation. This is just the last rebirth of the Southern Alliance. After this time of madness and climax, they will inevitably usher in a low point. This time, I am afraid that they will never have a day to rise again.

So when Zheng Yu and others retreated to Quanzhou, an uprising broke out in Quanzhou.

When Rong Shixin, who was stationed in Quanzhou, was ordered to send troops to attack Zheng Yu in two groups, the soldiers rebelled and the people took to the streets. One by one, officials loyal to the Confederacy were killed. Some of them died at home and were killed by their own slaves, while others died in military camps. During the inspection, they were killed by an ordinary soldier without any warning.

Conflicts broke out everywhere in the city, and the usually docile people suddenly showed their hideous faces. The friends who seemed to talk to each other on the next moment were actually facing each other. The most basic trust in a place completely collapsed, and the entire Quanzhou fell into a state of chaos.

With the chaos in the city, the last fleet of Rong's family stationed in Quanzhou Port also fell into a sea of ​​fire. Dozens of ships were burned into a pile of residue overnight.

Although the Rong fleet had long been unable to go out to sea to compete with the Tang navy, relying on the flexibility of the ship's personnel to patrol the coast, relying on the flexible advantages of the ship's personnel, it could still cause some trouble for the Tang navy in the shallow waters of the nearshore coast and delay the opponent's attack, but now it has become a bubble.

The chaos was calmed down after Zheng Yu and others entered Quanzhou City.

It is classified as a calm Quanzhou stops the wounds.

After Rong Hong led his troops to Quanzhou, he temporarily stopped attacking Quanzhou.

Because it's meaningless anymore.

It is not a good deal for Rong to completely eliminate this enemy in the wild and forcibly attacking the city. The most important purpose of Rong Hong now is to ensure that the large amount of wealth he plundered in Fujian can be transported away safely, even if everything is good, as for the territory, it is no longer so important.

Blocking Zheng Yu's troops in Quanzhou for a period of time would be enough to transport wealth to a long enough distance.

While preventing Zheng Yu's troops from attacking and harassing in Quanzhou City and arranging subsequent retreat, Rong Hong no longer had any expectations for returning to this area where he settled.

Losing the sea warning made Rong Hong lose any reliable information about the news about the Tang Dynasty's naval forces. What he didn't know was that when he was trying his best to block Zheng Yu and others in Quanzhou, a huge fleet had already arrived near the coast of Fujian.

"General Ren, there is a shallow sea in front of us, so our big ship can't get through. I'll send a small boat to take you to the shore." Li Hao looked at the lush coastline not far away and said.

"No need!" Ren Xiaonian smiled: "It's just two or three miles of water. We'll just swim over. There are not many ships in your fleet that can pass this shallow sea. It's time to get what you need to do? Now we have to grab time and we can't let Rong Hong take away the people's wealth and ointment of Fujian people. With a moment of extra effort, maybe we can block them all and grab the things back."

Li Hao laughed: "According to the spy, Rong's money robbed in Fujian is as high as tens of millions of yuan, which does not include silk jewelry, etc. If you can grab all of it, Your Majesty will be extremely happy, and Chairman Xu will be so happy that he can't sleep. As for Wang Mingyi and Sun Lei of the Ministry of Revenue, he will definitely invite you to have a meal and drink after you go back."

"I dare not ask for so much, I just want to make meritorious contributions." Ren Xiaonian bowed his hand, turned around and grabbed a rope, swung lightly like a monkey, then got off Li Hao's flagship, landed on a small boat, and sailed towards a group of large merchant ships guarding the warships.

After a moment, dozens of merchant ships sailed out of the battleships and kept moving forward until they could no longer move forward, and then stopped.

Instead of choosing a deep water area suitable for shore, they chose this shallow beach because this place is closest to their target, and any other place suitable for large warships and merchant ships to dock, must be at least one day away from their target.

This seems unacceptable to Ren Xiaonian and Li Hao.

One day may be related to the failure of this large-scale black-eating operation.

The court was short of money, and it was short of money everywhere.

But letting the current Tang Dynasty court plunder the people, let alone the superiors disagree, even the middle and lower-level people in the Tang Dynasty will disagree, because if the imperial court does this to the people of the Southern Alliance and starts this, it may be attacked on them that day. Chang'an will naturally not do such things that lose the people's hearts.

However, if you, Rong Hong, did this to the people of Fujian, I will grab it back and return a small part of it to rebuild Fujian, and then easily win the hearts of the people.

For ordinary people, how could they know that the money was originally theirs?

They only knew that the Rong family was robbing their money, while the Tang Dynasty court rebuilt Fujian.

That's enough.

"Ren Xiaonian is really capable. In one month, he actually packed all the thorns of the Volunteer Army and put them under the cover." Iron hook Pan Motang stood at the bow of the ship, looking at the merchant ship in front of him, and sighed: "If such a guy hadn't made a trick or made a mistake, he would have been the general's position long ago."

Li Hao smiled and said, "It's not too late to fix the bribe. General Pan, do you know how many fights he has fought in this month?"

Pan Motang smiled: "I heard a little."

"These people have no choice but to say about their combat effectiveness and combat experience, but military discipline is much worse for them. Many of them are in the army and are subject to military law every few days. Most of them took the opportunity to be treated as a black sheep by Shangguan during this major revocation and were removed from the army. But to put it bluntly, these people are really not good except for war. If you want them to farm or do business, they are afraid that even their lives will be a problem. If such people work, do you think those workshop owners or shopkeepers dare to ask them?"

Pan Motang shook his head: "These people are born to be able to do one business, that is, to conquer. But they must have a strong person to suppress them. Ren Xiaonian is really suitable."

"This guy took his eight partners to the camp and set up a battlefield in the base. He fought one fight every day. The other party was one person and nine people joined together. The other party had one hundred people. They also nine people joined together, and they were all over the place, conquering this group of mixed balls."

"There are nine of them, and they are really capable of resisting one hundred people? Isn't this possible?" Pan Motang said in confusion.

"Just say that, the people in the military camp, although they are rebellious, are arrogant. At the end, at most, there were only a group of fifty people. But these fifty people are really no match for the nine of them." Li Hao laughed and said, "In a month, Ren Xiaonian became their undisputed leader."

"These stubborn donkeys are really rushing away and regressing, but the evil people are beaten by the evil people. When they meet Ren Xiaonian, they should be unlucky." Pan Motang laughed: "But this time you go overseas, you really need such a group of people. The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty have been accustomed to strict discipline and restraints over the years. They have bound them for a long time after being bound by rules and regulations. It is not necessarily suitable to go to places overseas."

"Yes, in the local area, what we need is lions and tigers. Although it is vicious, it still has to be principled. But when I went overseas, I needed groups of hungry wolves. They dared to do anything for a bite of food and for survival!" Li Hao said with a fierce look on his eyes.

"According to my years of experience, most people in those places are afraid of power but not virtue. You can only defeat them first, and you will be afraid of them. Seeing you is like seeing a ghost. Only at this time, you will come to tell them about benevolence, righteousness and morality, and then come to teach and influence, and then achieve twice the result with half the effort."

"That's what I think." Li Hao laughed. "For us, it is a land that is too far away. It is not allowed to let blood cover the ankles. I'm afraid it will be difficult to spread the glory of our Tang Dynasty to that place."

As he was talking, he saw the soldiers on the merchant ship ahead taking off naked, holding weapons, armor, etc. on their heads, or tied them to wood and then pulling them with ropes. They were already in the water.

In a short while, the sea surface was filled with floating heads.

After a while, from the telescope, he saw Ren Xiaonian standing naked on the bow of the boat. He turned around and looked at them with a bow from a distance, then went down the rope ladder, sank into the water, and swam towards the shore with his arms raised.

On a few small boats, the sailors rowed the boat hard, carrying a batch of grenades and hot weapons such as grenades and sulphur bombs for the team that were preparing to go and eat black.

"This batch of wealth falls into our hands, Rong Hong will vomit blood." Pan Motang waved his smooth and shiny iron hook, gloating.

As an old pirate who has been around for a long time, in the early years, he had fought against the Rong clan who ruled Fujian, and had gained advantages and suffered losses.
