The disaster at Hai'an Station had not spread yet, and most of the Ming soldiers in Huben Town withdrew from Hai'an.

The Ming army's Fuyang Town Navy began to advance westward and headed towards the east field.

More than a hundred Huben Town officers and soldiers who stayed on the shore went towards Xuwen in a further direction.

At this moment, the Ming army navy seemed to be playing a competition and a battle to grab people.

The Fong soldiers in the East Field were not as numerous as Hai'an, and there were only more than twenty officers and soldiers guarding here.

When they saw the Ming Navy fleet coming in a fierce manner, the Qing soldiers guarding the East Farm immediately fled in all directions.

The people of Dongchang who were still unaware of it were left behind.

At this moment, the people in the East Farm are working.

Some of them are going out to fish in the sea, while others are drying dried fish.

There is even a large salt field here.

During this period, salt is hard currency.

As the Ming army arrived at the East Farm, the land and sea merchants could not help but shine when they saw the salt field.

He hurriedly called the Han people in the salt farm to transport the salt to the sea boat.

Seeing this, the generals of the Ming army were furious.

Finally, the two sides had a fight to the deputy general Miao Qian before they calmed down.

The Ming army agreed to help escort salt from land and sea, but the profit from selling salt was divided into 30% of the money to Fuyang Town.

This made Luhai merchants laugh from ear to ear.

In Luzon, the sale of salt and iron is all in the hands of the Ming court.

Merchants from all over the world need permission from the Ming court to sell salt.

The Ming court made a very strange move on the issue of salt.

That is, the Luzon Ming court allowed merchants from all over the world to make salt.

Salt-making factories in various parts of Luzon were founded by merchants from all over the world.

But merchants do not have the right to sell salt.

In other words, merchants can set up salt farms and make sea salt and well salt, but they have no right to sell it.

Either the sea salt is sold to the government at a low price, and the government will sell it to the people to earn the difference.

Or merchants from all over the world bought sea salt sales licenses from the government at a high price and sold sea salt when they paid 30% of the tax.

The Ming court also deliberately exposed a flaw to these salt merchants of the Sihai Chamber of Commerce.

That is, the Ming court will not care about salt merchants' maritime smuggling.

In other words, the Ming court acquiesced the fact that you made a pound of salt in Luzon and sold it to Guangdong through smuggling.

This allows business people from all over the world to see business opportunities.

You should know that the price of sea salt in Luzon is much lower than that in Guangdong and Guangxi.

After all, the salt factories in Luzon were supervised by merchants themselves, and not like the salt fields in the Qing Dynasty, they were all run by the government.

Without the layers of deductions from officials and the intentional price increase, even the sea salt transported to Guangdong and Guangxi by sea was much lower than the salt price of the Qing government.

For a time, these merchants in Sihai made a fortune and saved the financial crisis of Sihai Chamber of Commerce.

Originally, the Ming court's years of war had already emptied the wealth of the Sihai Chamber of Commerce, but who would have thought that selling private salt from the sea would cause Sihai to accidentally get a wave of blood back.

It also made the businessmen in the world more grateful to Liu Yu.

Of course, this also quickly aroused the alertness of the Qing Dynasty government.

Soon, they began to suppress these salt smugglers, but the merchants in Guangzhou shopping malls protected each other, and even night markets between towns appeared.

The smuggling of this salt merchant has also been banned.

After all, ordinary people can avoid eating meat and drinking alcohol, but salt is a necessity.

As the saying goes, three pounds of salt cost a hundred tanne of rice.

With such high salt prices in the government, how can the poor people in Guangdong afford to consume?

At the risk of beheading, you have to buy low-priced salt from Sihai.

Now looking at these salt mountains, the land and sea merchants were smiling from ear to ear.

If these sea salts were sold to Qiongzhou, Jiading, Luzon, and Siam, the profit would be several times higher.

After all, it was the official salt of the Qing court, so there was no need for even the cost.

The Ming army officers and soldiers stayed in the East Field for three days.

During this period, in addition to looting more than 2,000 people, he also took away five ships of sea salt.

If it weren't for the threat from the Ming generals in the end, these land and sea merchants would probably not want to leave.

At this moment, the people in Xuwen direction also suffered a huge disaster.

The Ming army officers and soldiers plundered here for two days and two nights.

The Xuwen area was left without leaving any other people.

During this period, Minghai's merchant ships were not idle either.

More than twenty large sailboats from the Minghai are shuttled between the ports.

The Qing army prisoners of war and Han people were escorted to Jiading or Luzon.

Since Jiading County is in Annan and is closest to Qiongdao, Minghai gives priority to sending a large number of people to Jiading.

After all, the journey to Luzon is relatively far and dangerous, and I am afraid of some strong winds and waves that will cause vain to lose manpower and material resources.

General Gao Lianlei was furious after hearing the news and quickly mobilized Qing troops from the three prefectures to go to the east court to suppress bandits in Haining.

However, it took time for the Qing army to assemble in various places, and the marching of the army on foot was not as fast as the Ming army's speed on a warship.

By the time the Qing army officers and soldiers arrived at the east court, it was already five or six days later.

At this time, let alone the people in Dongchang, even the salt mountains in the salt farm were moved completely by land and sea merchants.

The Qing army general Qian, who was so angry that he led his troops to curse.

When the Qing army of Leizhou Prefecture rushed towards Xuwen and the east court, the Navy of Fuyang Town quietly came to Haikang Institute.

Hikvision is located in the western part of the Leizhou Peninsula. At this moment, if the Qing army wants to get the news, they will rush to the beach, which may take another five or six days.

The Ming army officers and soldiers in Fuyang Town just wanted to fight the Qing army a time difference.

The Qing army caught off guard and ran away from death.

Due to the previous tragedy of Hai'an Institute, the Qing army soldiers of Hai'an Institute increased their vigilance.

In addition to the more than 50 Qing army soldiers guarding Haikang, more than 100 rural warriors were also urgently recruited to guard the Haikang area.

This time, the Qing army became smarter and no longer blocked the Ming army on the coastline, but went to the coastal defense wall to block it.

The simple coastal defense wall is made of large pieces of stone, with amazing defense.

The Ming army gathered hundreds of troops in one day, attacked several rounds, and used more than ten artillery pieces including Fran's cannons, but they were unable to defeat this simple sea city for a while.

The Ming army officers and soldiers were so angry that they unloaded two tiger cannons from the Hu Ben warship overnight.

Because Haicheng is close to the coastline, two tiger cannons were pulled under the city at noon.

With the several rounds of shelling of the Hu Ben cannon, the coastal defense wall finally couldn't hold on to collapse.

As the saying goes, more than half of the Qing army had already died or injured, and the remaining rural brave men could not bear it and fled in scattered.

The Ming army made a concerted effort and directly captured the sea defense wall.

More than 50 casualties in the Ming army in this battle, which made Deputy General Miao Qian feel heartbroken.

Fortunately, the Qing army only held on for one day.

Before the Qing army could react, the Ming army quickly robbed Hikang.

Before the Qing reinforcements arrived, they escorted more than 3,000 people away from the coast.

Three days after Leizhou was attacked by pirates, it spread to Guangzhou Prefecture.

The Guangzhou general bowed Yindali and was furious.

He did not expect that the pirates attacking Qiongzhou would be so bold that they robbed Leizhou.

In addition to ordering the major sea towns in Guangzhou Prefecture to strengthen their vigilance, General Gao Lianlei also ordered General Gao to quickly send troops to eliminate the pirates.

When the General of Leizhou learned the orders of the Guangzhou General, he was also amused and crying.

This pirate came and went without a trace, where did he go to wipe it out?

Could it be that he wants to deploy Qing army officers and soldiers to defend the coastal areas of Leizhou?
