After working hard for a long time, he robbed a ship of ashes. The ten taels of silver promised by General Land were naturally ruined. The pirates were depressed and they didn't want to move. Lu Wei had to return first.

When Lu Wei returned to Cengang, he immediately returned to Dinghai City to report the matter to Huang Binqing.

In the official hall, Lu Wei looked angry, "Master, the people from Jintang Island went to Ryukyu and pulled two ships of mud. They couldn't be playing with us!"

It is unheard of to use a boat to pull mud and dust. Lu Wei seriously suspected that Zhao Ming knew that they were going to rob the ship and deliberately played with them. However, this did not make sense. He was robbed of a boat and suffered a lot of losses.

Huang Binqing frowned, walked back and forth a few steps, and suddenly ordered: "Don't go out to sea soon!"

Lu Wei said: "Why is this? I haven't grabbed anything?"

Lu Wei was worried about not robbing anything.

"Recently, the coast of eastern Zhejiang was blocked by the Qing army, and there was nothing to buy or sell on Jintang Island. If you can't rob anything, it's easy to get into trouble!" Huang Binqing smiled and said, "Besides, I guess that in a while, the Red Maverick Yi should come. I will wait for some time, so what if?"

The dispute between the Ming and Qing dynasties had a huge impact on the world pattern. As early as before the Ming Dynasty, products produced in China were sold well in the world and had no other products. If they could be maintained for a long time, they would definitely promote the change in Chinese society.

However, during the Ming and Qing dynasties, the Qing Dynasty occupied China, making it impossible for the world to buy Chinese goods, which led countries around the world to find alternatives and even produce them themselves.

The British began to grow tea in India, and Western Europeans tried to fire porcelain. Chinese cloth and silk were also replaced, losing their original market, and prompting Western products to gradually replace China and promote Western social changes.

The dynasty first went to the senior official, and it had been more than two months since the emperor was about to arrive at the senior official and met the Red Mahogany.

Huang Binqing estimated that in at most two or three months, the Red Mauyi's fleet would drive to Jintang Island.

These red-haired ghost fire weapons will definitely make everyone in Jintang Island look good at that time, and Huang Binqing only needs to wait and reap the profits.

Huang Binqing sneered repeatedly and thought to himself, "What is Zhao Tiebang? He is still a little tender when fighting with me. When Zhao Tiebang is destroyed and Jintang Island is annexed, I am the lord of the East China Sea. If I take over Chongming Island, everything Zhao Tiebang manages will belong to me. By then, I will enter the Yangtze River and my achievements will definitely be great, and the court will also rely on me!"

Huang Binqing has been looking at Zhao Ming's strategy in recent days and found that his strategy of garrisoning troops in the East China Sea and stationing troops in Chongming is actually quite clever and will inevitably be relied upon by the court in the future.

Such a good strategy is really a waste to let Zhao Tiebang implement it, and it should be led by Huang, so Huang Binqing was even more determined to destroy Zhao Ming, merge Zhao Ming's subordinates, and occupy his strategy.

After hearing this, Lu Wei felt a little regretful, but he still smiled and said, "That's the humble position that the general is here, and I'll talk about it when the Hong Maoyi comes."

Huang Binqing nodded and asked, "Where are the ship you robbed?"

Lu Wei said: "Bizhi and his boats sank him into the sea!"

"Okay, it's done well!" Huang Binqing praised, and then ordered: "The island is strengthening its vigilance and people are surveillance at Jintang Island!"

Lu Wei clasped his fists, "I know it!"

~~~~~~

The Fu Ship was docked at the edge of the dock, with only half of a boat of volcanic ash left. The sailors were busy unloading the remaining sacks. The other ship was not a sea ship from other places, but an armed merchant ship that Zhao Ming sent to Japan to buy gunpowder and sulfur earlier.

Because Japan is far away and it takes time to purchase goods, it is so late.

At this time, after Zhao Ming received the news, he hurried to the dock to check it out.

A large group of people came to the dock. The busy sailors put down their work with a little depressed expression. The boss of the ship held his fists and saluted: "General, humble duty~"

Zhao Ming waved his hand, "It's good to be back!"

Sun Sijiang felt warm, and Zhao Ming stepped forward and patted his shoulder, asking, "Do you know who did it? Even robbing volcanic ash is extremely vicious. I must destroy them!"

Sun Sijiang shook his head, "I don't know very well, but their artillery is sharp, they are all lucky ships of the same number, not like pirates!"

Zhao Ming narrowed his eyes and showed murderous aura, "How many ships are there?"

Sunsi Jiangdao: "Ten ships."

Zhao Ming nodded slightly, looked at the sailor behind him, and saw that everyone was in a bad mood, he immediately spoke, "I know who it is. You have worked hard all the way, so go and rest! Brothers who have not come back this time, their family will give half a stone of rice every month and be taken care of by the island!"

The whole people on Jintang Island are soldiers, and the family's food is mainly obtained by serving the strong men. If the strong men die at home, the family's life will be difficult.

Sun Sijiang hurriedly clasped his fists, "My brothers, thank you for your help!"

After Sun Sijiang took the people away, Zhao Ming turned his head and ordered, "Wang Dana, please let someone unload the goods."

Zhao Ming returned to the official hall with a calm face. Chen Mingyu, Ma Shiao and others rushed over after hearing the news. Liu Si said, "It goes without saying that Huang Binqing must have done it. No one near Zhoushan has such strength except him. Those pirates are Huang Binqing's people disguised."

Ruan Mei said: "I heard that Huang Binqing's fleet often harbors immediately on the side of Cengang recently, and there is no trade to do recently. Most of it is him, so he can't be wrong!"

Chen Mingyu also said: "I knew Huang Binqing would not be willing to accept it!"

Zhao Ming heard the words and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Ma, what are the troops and supplies on the island today?"

Ma Shiao replied: "The garrison is not counted. The general has 3,000 troops each in the water camp and the land camp, which is 6,000 troops. The general left two thousand soldiers in the Taiping camp and two thousand soldiers in the water camp. There were only two thousand soldiers and horses brought back to Jintang Island. However, according to the general's wishes, the Beishi enlisted the surrender rebel army and obtained one thousand people. In addition, the one thousand people who annexed Huang Binqing, there were 4,000 soldiers on the island."

Masaud paused and continued: "In the past two months, some equipment on the island has been repaired. Today, when the merchant ship that bought sulfur from Japan should be able to make thousands of kilograms of gunpowder."

Zhao Ming pondered: "That means there are three thousand land camps and one thousand water camp soldiers on the island! What about Huang Binqing?"

Liu Sidao: "Report to the general, according to small investigations, Huang Binqing has nearly 10,000 troops, more than 3,000 people in the water camp, and more than 6,000 people in the land camp!"

Zhao Ming frowned and said, "The gap is very big!"

Tunding has been planting rice and farming recently, and he can't count on it. The troops are far inferior to Huang Binqing, especially the navy. Zhao Ming's main warships are all in Chongming and cannot be compared with Huang Binqing.

Ma Shiao said: "Why should Chongming's troops be transferred back?"

Zhao Ming waved his hand, "No, news came from the Heaven and Earth Association. Duoduo led his army to leave Nanjing, went up the river and march towards Huguang. I guess a big war broke out in Huguang. Chongming's troops must stay in Chongming and restrain the Qing army."

If the island is closed, if you are not careful, you may miss major events and miss opportunities for war.

After returning to Jintang Island, Zhao Ming was still paying attention to major events in the world. He recently received news that he learned that the Ming Dynasty had surrendered the remaining troops of the Shun Army and launched a counterattack in Huguang.

This was a good opportunity for the Ming army. The Ming Dynasty could have taken this opportunity to launch a counterattack in Zhejiang, threatened Hangzhou again, and supported the Huguang battlefield. However, the Ming Dynasty's various battlefields were not one mind.

Zhu Yihai is now crippled and has no strength to send troops. Fujian does not send troops, which is a pity, and Zhao Ming also has this Huang Binqing to restrain him.

Chen Mingyu looked angry on Wenyu's face, "Now is the critical moment to fight against the Northern Territory. This Huang Binqing is so confused!"

Ma Shiao didn't speak and had a gloomy face. After all, the Ma Party had done such a thing at the time.

Chen Yujie, who had just joined Jintang Island, didn't say anything. When he heard this, he couldn't help but say anger: "I think it's not just a fool, but a bad one, a stupid one, and it's a killing!"

Zhao Ming had a calm face and thought in his heart. If he wanted to fight against the Qing Dynasty, it seemed that Huang Binqing must be dealt with and integrated the entire Zhoushan to pose a threat to the Qing Dynasty. Otherwise, there would be constant internal strife and would not be able to concentrate on fighting against the Qing Dynasty.

Everyone was discussing, when Old Li suddenly entered the official hall, clasped his fists to Zhao Ming with a happy expression and said, "General, the envoy from the imperial court's Xuanzhi has arrived!"
