When Zhang Ping'an was in the military discussion, he asked: The Thais are all robbers, and what topic is our Slave Army, which made the generals of the Slave Army who participated in the military discussion a little stunned. Finally, Zhang Tong, the general manager of the Slave Army, stood up and added: "My Slave Army is the mainstay of protecting the Ming Dynasty's borders!"

Zhang Tong's words were obviously not recognized by Zhang Dashuai. Zhang Ping'an smiled and waved his hand to let Zhang Tong take his seat. Then Zhang Ping'an stood up and walked to the map to pick up the teaching stick. He stood in front of the map and held the teaching stick horizontally. His smile showed evil spirits: "Zhang Tong's words are official words on the scene, which can be said to outsiders. Today they are all their own people, so I will tell the truth. The Thais are robbers, and my Slave Army is a robber who specializes in robbing robbers. Ha... Hehe, don't be embarrassed to say that what I am talking about is the fact."

After saying that, Zhang Ping'an cleared his throat and said seriously: "Hmm! I have been talking for so long, I have been paving the way for a major event in the Ponucheng area. This major event that concerns the life and death of millions of people in Ponucheng is food! Since last year, the territory we controlled has been drought. The two major grain-producing areas of Ponucheng and Ping'ancheng can only maintain the basic livelihood of the people. The military rations that I Ponucheng want to fight in the Ponucheng were not settled. I, the commander, was anxious! Although North Korea surrendered to Jiannu, their navy surrendered to my Ponucheng Navy, and the ship transporting cargo was still a little lacking. The north of the Ming Dynasty was completely drought, and even the wealthy Nanzhili had a drought. The Ming Dynasty itself was not full, so we should not buy food from the Ming Dynasty if we are foreign vassals."

As a former official of the Ming Dynasty, Zhou Jiamo, the chief of the Lifan Office, was very moved by the statement of Ponuhou. No matter how evil the Ponuhou was, he still thought of the people of the Ming Dynasty. Zhang Ping'an ignored what Zhou Jiamo thought. He pointed to Taiwan Island with a teaching stick and said, "The water source is rich in the east of Taiwan Island, and you will catch Japanese slaves to reclaim land and farm. You all remember that the Japanese pirates are just untouchables to work until they die, and they will not allow them to pass on their family line. This is my military order! Xu Yian, Nanzhili, will collect disaster victims and go to Taiwan to reclaim land. These Ming people are our own people. Of course, my retired soldiers of the Ponu Army have the right to choose land first due to injury, and the people of Ponucheng will be the next."

At the meeting, Zhang Ping'an appointed Zhou Jiamo, the general manager of the Lifan Department, to Nanzhili to discuss with Xu Yian to settle the victims of the Daming disaster. Afterwards, Zhang Ping'an arranged the war in Japan, and sent Zhou Jiamo, Song Hu and Haserdun away from the venue. All he left were military generals, and the specific matters of navy going to Annan and Chameng to buy a large amount of rice. Zhang Ping'an, the chief commander of the Po Slave Army, knew very well that Taiwan also needed a large amount of grain and grain to resettle immigrants, and the grain produced in Taiwan had to wait two years to achieve results. Only a large amount of money could be paid back in a few years during this period. Of course, Zhang Ping'an had another confidential matter that Zhang Ping'an had to complete after these generals.

.........

The news that Zhang Ping'an, the commander of the Pou Nu Army, went to the Nu Gandusi was not eye-catching, but there were many people who paid attention to Xu Yi'an in Nanjing. Xu Yi'an offended many people in Nanzhili, and he was very cautious in his daily life. He was very proud of his presence before and after going out. If there was no urgent matter at night, he would usually stay in a heavily guarded courtyard. As a famous god of wealth in Nanjing, Xu Yi'an and Chu Tianshou were hard to obtain in the eyes of thieves. The Xuanwei envoy of the Pou Nu City, the garrison of the Pou Nu Army was generally around 700 people, and with 500 city guards with high martial arts skills, ordinary thieves rarely dared to make their decisions.

However, the people who have recently targeted the Xuanwei envoys in the Ponucheng recently were a little bold. They booked the inn outside Chaotian Palace Street and monitored the Xuanwei envoys of the Ponucheng day and night. After more than ten years of rooting in Nanjing, the Xuanwei envoys in the Ponucheng has become the number one local snake in Nanjing. With the guards of Nanjing, the Xuanwei envoys in Nanjing have a comprehensive scene, and officials from all walks of life in the Ponucheng Xuanwei envoys in Nanjing have gained benefits. Xu Yian and others can even challenge the eunuchs in Nanjing. The commander of the Ponu Army Zhang Ping'an allowed the officials of the Ponu Army to marry and have children in Nanjing, but these officials of the Ponu Army consciously sent their son back to Ponucheng after the age of five. Zhang Dashen often warned these officials that Nanjing is a gentle place and they need to be strictly prevented from slaughtering their will here.

In the two major intelligence systems of the Ponu Army, the detective office was much better than the Jinyiwei in the Ming Dynasty's ability to detect opponents' information, and the Ponu Army had six manors outside Nanjing, and trained a large number of skilled guards. Because of this, Xu Yian found out the details of surveillance at the Xuanwei envoy of the Ponu City in a very short time. However, Xu Yian is becoming more and more experienced now, and he generally does not take action easily without being fully sure. The Ponu City Xuanwei envoy of the Nanzhili Ponu City is currently purchasing medicinal materials, tung oil and silk, and also purchasing grain from Huguang. Xu Yian purchased grains not outside the pass, but transported them to the capital and directly obtained silver in the Ming Dynasty. The officials who attacked the Ponu City Xuanwei envoy in the court also had no sound because they could not find a good excuse.

The large-scale drought in the Ming Dynasty has lasted for two years, and the main grain-producing areas in Jiangnan also planted mulberry trees because the demand for Si Si silk increased greatly, which also caused a serious shortage of food in the Ming Dynasty. Ponuhou, who has always been known for making shameless money, has recently changed his personality. He ordered the Yingtian Prefecture Office in Nanjing to take in orphans and widows who were scattered in the disaster area. Of course, the people who couldn't survive and wanted to go outside the pass to seek advice, the Xuanwei Office in Ponucheng also extended a helping hand. Many victims began to gather in Songjiang Prefecture, and the Yingtian Prefecture Office in Ponucheng also set up a porridge shed there, which helped more than 100,000 people.

The Ming Dynasty court mostly turned a blind eye to this matter. After all, in the disaster of the capital explosion in the sixth year of Tianqi, Ponuhou spent a lot of gold and silver to provide relief to the victims. Regardless of whether Ponuhou was buying people's hearts or not, at least Ponuhou never made any statement when doing these things, and did not make contributions to the court after doing the good. When Ponuhou ordered his subordinates to provide relief to the victims, everyone was deaf and dumb. Officials in various prefectures were also afraid that too many victims would cause civil rebellion. If the victims did not have enough food to rebel, the officials would be held accountable by the court first. Although the lost people could not collect taxes, the two harms were less expensive than being scolded by the Shangguan.

......

The person who monitored the Ponucheng Xuanwei envoy's trend was the subordinate of the sea hero Zheng Zhilong. Since the decisive battle between the Ponu Army Navy and the Japanese Navy, the entire Japanese transaction was controlled by the Ponu Army. If Zheng Zhilong had not defeated Liu Xiang, a pirate who was rampant in the South China Sea last year and replaced Liu Xiang as the overlord of the South China Sea and controlled the transaction with Taixi, so many of his subordinates would have no food to eat. The Ponu Army Navy could defeat the Japanese Navy and his fleet in a row within two days. This terrifying strength made Zheng Zhilong withdraw from the Yangtze River estuary after learning the news and gave control to the Ponu Army Navy. Zheng Zhilong knew that the main force of the Ponu Army Navy was from the Korean Navy. Although North Korea surrendered to the Qing Dynasty of the Jurchens, the Ponu Army Navy took the Korean Navy and shipbuilders under his command.

As the leader of the pirate, Zheng Zhilong did not have much ideal. He had seen the scene of the Ponu Army fighting for life many times. In his heart, he did not want to be the enemy of the Ponu Army. It was just that the Ponu Hou Zhang Ping'an forced his family too much and used the lives of his family as meat tickets to force Zheng Zhilong's fleet to serve as the Ponu Army for free cargo ship. Although his subordinates could still get a feast, Zheng Zhilong and his group of leading brothers lived a very hard life. Zheng Zhilong just wanted to live a comfortable life of endless honeysuckle, and fighting and killing at sea was really annoying. Recently, he heard that the fierce fox wolf on the grassland Zhang Ping safely annihilated hundreds of thousands of troops of the grassland overlord Lin Danhan, and killed Lin Danhan's family and lost a hundred people. Zheng Zhilong felt more and more frightened after learning the news.

Recently, Zheng Zhilong got very close to the Dutch in Taiwan. In order to deal with the threat of the Ponu Navy, the Dutch mobilized five cannon ships from East India last year. They and Zheng Zhilong's fleet patrolled the western waters of Taiwan day and night to shock the Ponu Navy's navy to the point where they could not go south. Zheng Zhilong was very awe of his ancestors and returned to Quanzhou to worship his ancestors every year. The Ponu Army was busy transporting military supplies to the Nuergandusi controlled by the Ponu Army, as if they had no time to do so.

Taking into account the Zheng Zhilong fleet, even when the Zheng Zhilong fleet was fighting against Liu Xiang's pirate fleet, the Ponu Army disdained Zheng Zhilong's weak defense nest Penghu. After defeating Liu Xiang, Zheng Zhilong annexed more than 300 various ships he surrendered, which also restored the size of the Zheng Zhilong fleet to its previous number. After Zheng Zhilong, who had strong troops and horses, returned to his strength again, he still did not dare to challenge the Ponu Army Navy. He just wanted to maintain the status quo.

In the spring of the 10th year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty, the spring flowers bloomed in the south of the Ming Dynasty were intoxicating. Through the news from Nanjing's eyeliner, Zheng Zhilong received the news that the yamen of the Po Nucheng Xuanwei envoy of the Si Yingtian Prefecture was still busy. He was nervous for a winter and felt a little relaxed. Zheng Zhilong planned to spend half a month to worship his ancestors. This year, Zheng Zhilong returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors and felt a different mood. Not only did he become the overlord of the sea again, but he also seized millions of taels of silver saved by Liu Xiang. This made Zheng Zhilong constantly sigh that the profits of the sea trade were really generous. As usual, Zheng Zhilong would send silver to Fujian officials to pave the way for him to go home. Wu Qitai, the right governor of Fujian, was a new official from Nanjing. Zheng Zhilong took out 2,000 taels of silver to send people to respect him.

Officials of Fujian officials more or less accepted Zheng Zhilong's kindness. With the acquiescence of these officials, Zheng Zhilong's journey to home was naturally much easier. Before Qingming Festival, Zheng Zhilong led five blessed boats to land in Quanzhou. A team of hundreds of people carrying dozens of sacrifices to pick up three animals and returned to Zhengjiazhuang in a mighty manner. Today, Zheng Zhilong and his family were all here, and the blind dates also prepared incense candles and firecrackers for ancestor worship for Zheng Zhilong. Zheng Zhilong, who had long entrusted his tribe members to eat the water table, and with his brothers and younger generations.

After bathing and changing clothes, he went to the ancestral grave to worship. The sound of firecrackers exploding in the valley. The white smoke of fog was hidden in Zheng Zhilong's pride. He read aloud aloud the gorgeous tribute written by the scholar and expressed his inner pleasure to his ancestors. However, Zheng Zhilong's sacred text was not finished. The manuscript of his hand fell to the ground. His face pale and saw a familiar and smiling demon on the side of the ancestral grave. This demon is the nemesis of Zheng Zhilong's family, Xu Yian, the commander of the Slave Army's Investigation Office! (To be continued)
