The Jinyiwei instructed Luo Yangxing to write a secret letter to Emperor Chongzhen. Luo Yangxing pointed out that the Japanese pirates attacked the Ming Dynasty's seas and bounds were likely to be related to the cleanup of salt affairs in the world. Luo Yangxing said it was very obscure. Although he did not point out the master behind the Japanese pirates, he could make Emperor Chongzhen realize that the money of Zhang Ping'an of the Po Nuhou was difficult to take. This shameless nobleman could do anything shameless for the sake of silver. In fact, if Luo Yangxing was not as secret, Emperor Chongzhen could also guess that Emperor Chongzhen could not be separated. Emperor Chongzhen did not have a good impression of the salt merchants in Yangzhou. Giving them a profound lesson could also help the court lay a good foundation for the future collection of salt taxes.

The Ming Dynasty was deaf and dumb when facing the attack on the Japanese pirates in the sea. The six salt merchants far away in Nanjing had a deep pain. Of course, they knew that this was a shady move by Ponu Hou. This time Ponu Hou did not kill and set fire, nor did he kidnap the salt merchants' family, but he directly ruined the most profitable transactions of Yangzhou salt merchants. These disguised Japanese pirates had a clear goal of destroying the salt fields. They sprinkled lime into the salt fields and only destroyed the salt fields of Yangzhou salt merchants. They did not even move the precious salt fields of the Yangzhou salt merchants, which were only separated from the Yangzhou salt merchants' ridge. It took several years for Yangzhou salt merchants to resume production. Not to mention that they destroyed the ditches that led the sea water into the salt fields, these ditches have been hundreds of years, and it is unknown how much money they will cost to rebuild.

Faced with the threat of the nude threat of the Xuanwei envoy of Ponucheng, Yangzhou salt merchants had no choice but to compromise. If they continued to fight, they would not want to leave Nanjing City in their entire lives. Fortunately, Ponuhou and his team liked to talk about transactions, so Wu Houde personally went to the Yingtian Prefecture of Ponucheng to discuss the misunderstandings between the two sides with Ponuhou using silver to solve the misunderstandings between the two sides. Ponuhou Zhang Ping'an once said a famous saying: As long as it can be solved with silver, it is not a problem. After five days of bargaining with Xu Yi'an, the two sides finally reached an agreement. Yangzhou salt merchants used 15 million taels of silver to resolve the misunderstandings between the two sides. However, the amount of this batch of silver was too large, and the Yangzhou salt merchants paid it out in five years. Yangzhou salt merchants also agreed not to support Zheng Zhilong's fleet, and their trade with Japan would be transported by Ponucheng Xuanwei envoy.
