In Fuzhou, Duoduo gathered nearly 70,000 surrendered troops, and his troops increased significantly. However, while the troops increased, it also brought him a trouble.

These Zheng army used to be paid by Zheng Zhilong, but now he sent Zheng Zhilong away, seized Zheng Zhilong's military power, and at the same time inherited the daily consumption of tens of thousands of surrendered troops.

The Qing Dynasty now occupies a large area, and it is no problem to support tens of thousands of soldiers.

However, it was not easy for the Qing army to transport money and grain to Fujian.

Maritime transportation is impossible, and it is impossible to transport along Zhejiang, so it can only cross the Wuyi Mountains in northern Fujian.

It was not an easy task to cross the mountains, and it was mostly unchanged when transporting. At this time, the direction of Xianxia Pass was haunted by Li Chengdong, who was stationed in western Zhejiang, and the Qing army's food could not be transported in at all.

This made Duoduo unable to move even though he had tens of thousands of more soldiers and could only temporarily stay in Fuzhou.

In order to solve this situation, Duoduo remembered the words of Li Changqian, the minister of the Ministry of Revenue of the pseudo-Tang Dynasty, and Zheng Weihong, the minister of the Ministry of Revenue, who was beheaded by him more than a month ago.

At that time, he ordered the two to prepare money and grain, but they didn't prepare a grain of rice, and just said, "You can ask Zheng Zhilong."

Although these were the angry words of the two of them and hated Zheng Zhilong to the Qing Dynasty, what they said was the truth.

The pseudo-Tang court was just a puppet established by the Zheng family, so it was nothing to ask for. Fujian's wealth was indeed under the hands of Zheng Zhilong.

Duoduo walked back and forth in the hall a few steps, suddenly stopped and ordered coldly, "Come on, tell me, Han Dai will come to see you!"

~~~~~~~

After Zheng Zhilong left in Anping City, Fujian, Zheng Hongkui, Zheng Lian, Zheng Cai and others went out to sea, and Zheng Zhilong's son Zheng Du continued to stay in Anping City.

The Zheng army in Fujian surrendered and left. There were only more than 3,000 Zheng troops in Anping City, guarding their families and the treasures of the Zheng family.

At this time, the Zheng family already knew that Zheng Zhilong went north, but he did not know the specific situation and did not dare to act rashly. He valued the Zheng family and appointed Zheng Zhilong as king. He also had fantasies that Zheng Zhilong went north to meet the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty and would accept the reward.

Although Zheng Hongkui, Zheng Lian, Zheng Cai and others went to sea to occupy Jinxia Islands and refused to shave their hair, they did not dare to cause trouble. They waited for Zheng Zhilong to return before making plans.

On New Year's Eve, Anping City was decorated with lights and colorful colors to celebrate the New Year, but the atmosphere was indeed a little worse than in previous years.

The Zheng family was gone and scattered. In addition, Zheng Zhilong was gone and had no backbone. Everyone was unhappy. They just celebrated a little and did not do a big deal.

At this time, the city was brightly lit and there were only a few soldiers patrolling the city. Zheng Du was kind to the servants and brought wine and food to the soldiers on duty, and everyone gathered to eat and drink.

A few miles outside the city, a group of people slowly approached. The leader was Han Dai of Gushan. He rode his horse and pulled out his reins and walked slowly. His eyes looked at Anping City with lights in the distance, showing a greedy gaze.

In the past two years, after the frontal battlefield was in a tug-of-war, the Qing army did not occupy any big city in the Ming Dynasty, and naturally there were no opportunities for robbery like when they entered the pass.

At this time, according to the Qing Dynasty, it was the fifth year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty, and the sixth year of Shunzhi was about to enter.

After the Qing Dynasty entered the pass for several years, it absorbed the Central Plains system and basically completed the system transformation and construction, and transformed into a centralized empire.

In the past, the Qing Dynasty's finances mainly relied on plunder. After entering the pass, it controlled the vast area. The original financial system was no longer applicable. The Qing Dynasty began to formalize the income of the Eight Banners.

Now the income of flag soldiers is no longer based on robbery, but on the income of flag fields and the salary given by the Qing court.

This gave the Eight Banners soldiers a fixed and considerable income, and their descendants would not have to worry about them. However, this is far from enough for many banner soldiers who are accustomed to robbing and spending money. Therefore, they urgently need another robbery to obtain a large amount of money and satisfy their desire for extravagance.

Fujian was a major province seized by the Qing army after entering the stalemate period. The Qing army occupied such a vast area, but the gains were very limited.

Duoduo wanted to win people's hearts and did not rob ordinary people, and these ordinary people actually had no money to rob.

In Fujian, Zheng Zhilong is the richest, with the Zheng family accounting for seven parts of the wealth in Fujian, gentry and landlords accounting for two parts, and the people accounting for only one part.

Since the surrender of Zheng Zhilong, the Qing Dynasty never thought of keeping Zheng Zhilong, so naturally he wanted to destroy the Zheng family and get seven percent of Fujian's wealth.

Since the Qing army entered Fujian, Duoduo and all the flag soldiers did not intend to let Zheng Zhilong go.

This is just like Yangzhou City back then. One of the most important reasons why it was massacred by the Qing army was that the city was too rich.

At this time, the defenders in the city were eating and drinking. A soldier stood up and looked outside the city. He was stunned. He ravaged his eyes and suddenly shouted anxiously: "No, there are a large number of thieves approaching!"

The alarm bell was made in an instant. Zheng Du, who was having dinner with his family, hurriedly ran to the top of the city, and saw countless soldiers wearing torches coming outside the city wall.

Zheng Du showed horror, held the wall with one hand, leaned out and asked, "This is Anping City, who are you waiting for?"

Han Dai didn't speak, turned his head to look at the people around him, and a Han general slapped out, "Open the city gate quickly, we will take over Anping's defense under the order of Prince Yu!"

Zheng Du was shocked and shouted: "Did the brothers under the city make a mistake? Master Zheng has given a long time to instruct that no one except the Zheng family is allowed to enter Anping City."

Han Dai snorted coldly, slapped out, and said without any doubt: "Since Zheng Zhilong surrendered to my Qing Dynasty, he must listen to the orders of the Qing Dynasty. Prince Yu is the prince of the Qing Dynasty. Are you going to disobey?"

Zheng Du's expression was extremely difficult to see. If the Qing army entered Anping, the Zheng family's property would suffer losses. However, Zheng Zhilong was not here and went to Beijing, which made him very passive.

If he disobeys his order, his father Zheng Zhilong may be in danger. If he obeys the order, Anping will be robbed.

In a state of anxiety, Zheng Du suddenly turned his head and ordered: "Fifth brother, you can take a boat to sea quickly and inform your uncle and cousin to come."

Zheng Zhilong's fifth son Zheng Xi did not say much when he heard the words. He knew that the situation was urgent and did not dare to delay it. He immediately clasped his fists, "Be careful, second brother!" After that, he hurried down to the city.

Zheng Du poked his head out and told the Qing army under the city wall, "Brothers, it's too late, it's so inconvenient to open the city. Please go to camp outside the city first. Later, I will offer 100,000 taels of silver and 10,000 stones of food to reward the brothers!"

At the moment, Zheng Du wanted to spend money to buy peace. After hearing his words, the Qing army in the city took a breath. There was an uproar. The Zheng family was indeed rich.

Seeing this, Zheng Du thought the Qing army was moved, but he didn't expect Han Dai and others to have more greedy eyes. Many Manchu and Mongolian generals looked at each other, as if a group of wolves were exchanging eyes.

Han Dai suddenly shouted: "Anping City does not respect the prince's orders, and wants to fight against the Qing Dynasty, kill me!"

To the south of Anping City is Kinmen Island.

In the second half of the night, warships on Kinmen Island all came out, Zheng Hongkui and others stood on the deck, looking at Anping City from afar, and saw the city lights soaring into the sky.

The sky in the north was flashing with flames, and the Zheng soldiers on the deck were all angry and speechless.

Zheng Lian punched the guardrail on the side, extremely sad and angry, "Qing dog, betrayal!"

Zheng Hongkui gritted his teeth and regretted, "Brother is confused. My Zheng family's foundation has been ruined for many years."
