Under the command of Zheng Chenggong and Gan Hui, the Ming army quickly controlled all the grain-carrying ships.

Except for those who vowed to resist and refuse to surrender, the rest of the crew were tied up by the Ming army and threw them into the cabin and locked up.

These people can be taken to Zhoushan to reclaim the fields, and there is no need to kill them all.

After some preliminary inspection, the rice loaded on a lucky ship was about 7,000 s, and the fifteen lucky ships were 105,000 s of rice.

Generally speaking, one stone of rice (120 kilograms) can be eaten by an ordinary soldier for three months. However, according to the Iron Man Army's standards, the monthly salary of each soldier is one stone of rice, which is not as much as an extra silver, which is equivalent to three times that of an ordinary soldier.

Zheng Chenggong had a 5,000 Iron Man Army, and 50,000 stones of rice was enough to support this Iron Man Army for ten months. The remaining 55,000 stones could support 55,000 people for three months according to the standards of ordinary soldiers.

In other words, this operation not only solved the food ration problem of Zheng Chenggong's direct Iron Man Army for nearly a year, but also helped Zheng Chenggong and Zhang Huangyan solve the food ration for three months!

Not to mention, he also intercepted the 500,000 taels of silver that Lang Tingzuo had discounted.

This is really no money or food, and the Tartars delivered it to us!

Zheng Chenggong was in a good mood and immediately ordered the navy to head towards Zhoushan!

Zhoushan Island.

On the dock, Zhang Huangyan was so excited that he was about to shed tears when he watched the soldiers move bags of rice out of the cabin of the Fu Ship!

"Damu, thank you so much for your hard work this time!"

Zheng Chenggong, covered in armor, jumped off the deck, and Zhang Huangyan immediately came forward.

"I really didn't expect that Lang Tingzuo had deducted so much food and silver. With such a borer, the Luting Court has entrusted an important task. It seems that no one is available."

People feel refreshed when they are happy, so Zhang Huangyan has long forgotten all the disputes with Zheng Chenggong over the Iron Army’s food quota.

To take a step back, Zheng Chenggong snatched these foods from Lang Tingzuo, and Zheng Chenggong should naturally decide how to control them.

"Haha, I didn't expect there to be so much food. If Lang Tingzuo knew about it, he would definitely be so angry that he vomited blood."

Zheng Chenggong was in the limelight in front of Zhang Huangyan, and naturally he was in a very good mood.

He said confidently: "Now Brother Cangshui believes what I said, right? As long as I, Zheng Chenggong, want to intercept the ship, it will be impossible to slip away."

After a moment of pause, Zheng Chenggong continued: "By the way, Brother Cangshui, there are still some prisoners on the ship, all of whom are crew members who work for Lang Tingzuo. Although they are accomplices of the tiger, they will not be guilty of death. I tied them all up and brought them back."

Zhang Huangyan frowned and said, "How many people are there?"

"I didn't make any calculations. There were more than a hundred people in a ship. I killed some thorns, leaving a thousand eight hundred people."

"Uh, these people all have to eat."

Zhang Huang sighed: "Although we have enough food now, we can't waste it, right?"

Zheng Chenggong thought to himself that Zhang Huangyan is worthy of being a civil servant, and he is obviously suitable for internal affairs.

There are only one thousand people in total, and they are given a pound of food a day, not much in a month.

What's more, Zheng Chenggong arrested them to let them reclaim wasteland.

The soldiers need to keep practicing every day, and it would be better if they can completely withdraw from the cultivation.

"Brother Cangshui, don't you panic. This food is naturally not for them to eat for free. Isn't it necessary to reclaim wasteland on the island? I thought I would let these prisoners do it. I will send someone to supervise them. If they don't complete the task for the day, they won't give them food. In this way, they will not dare to cheat. Brother Cangshui thinks this is OK?"

Since the reign of King Zhu Yihai of Lu, the relationship between Zheng Chenggong and Zhang Huangyan has become increasingly eased. These days of fighting side by side has made the relationship between the two better and better.

Although Zheng Chenggong has more troops than Zhang Huangyan, he will still ask for opinions respecting Zhang Huangyan.

"Well, it's a good choice if that's the case."

"The Zhoushan Islands are our territory, and the ships are all in our hands. Even if they want to escape, they can't escape."

Zheng Chenggong smiled and said, "In addition to rice, we also got silver. A full 500,000 taels can be rewarded with part of the soldiers and the rest will be stored in the warehouse. Brother Cangshui, you are the best at this kind of thing."

Zhang Huangyan's eyes lit up when he heard this.

Handling internal affairs is his best job.

He was so happy to hear that there was so much money to put into the warehouse.

"In addition, there are more than ten lucky ships, some of which are five-masted, and some of which are three-masted, all of which are good goods!"

No one knows better about sea ships than Zheng Chenggong, especially the lucky ships native to Fujian.

He said it was a good product, so it must be a good product.

"Haha, the key is that Lang Tingzuo has lost more than ten lucky ships, and we have made double the profits one after another."

Zhang Huangyan sighed: "If I had known this, I would have asked Damu to rob Donglu's money and food as soon as possible."

Zheng Chenggong coughed and said, "Lang Tingzuo will be alert when doing this kind of thing once. It will not be so easy to rescue him next time."

Zhang Huangyan nodded: "This is indeed the reason."

"Well, what are we doing here? Come and go to the house and say."

However, Zhang Huangyan and Zheng Chenggong entered the official residence one after another. Zhang Huangyan ordered people to brew a pot of tea and sat down with Zheng Chenggong to taste it carefully.

"Damu, this time it's so satisfying. That Lang Tingzuo was afraid of being bitten by a snake for ten years."

"Well, Brother Cangshui, this guy is a dumb guy who eats coptis chinensis, and he can't tell if he has any pain."

Zheng Chenggong raised the teacup and took a sip.

"This guy dared not make a statement, otherwise if the Censor of the Capitol Court learned the news and wrote it to him, he, the pseudo-Governor of Liangjiang, would have done the final result."

Zhang Huangyan nodded and agreed: "Yes, you can get the money and food you have withheld. If the official hat is gone, it will be all over. Lang Tingzuo is so cunning, he will not understand this truth."

After a moment of pause, Zhang Huangyan continued: "Damu, I heard a news that the Luting Court planned to activate Shi Lang again and ordered him to lead the navy to attack Zhoushan."

Zheng Chenggong immediately felt stern when he heard Shi Lang's words and said coldly: "If this thief dares to come, I will shoot him with my own hands!"

Shi Lang is from Fujian and joined the army at the age of seventeen.

Later, he followed Zheng Chenggong, and Zheng Chenggong trusted him very much.

Unfortunately, this man had ambitions and had surrendered to the Qing Dynasty several times. After his first surrender to the Qing Dynasty, he changed his mind, and Zheng Chenggong forgave him for his first offense.

Clinker Shi Lang is an unfamiliar ungrateful wolf, and he found an opportunity to join him again.

However, after Shi Lang surrendered to the Qing Dynasty again, he has been serving as a minister in the capital and has no military power.

It now seems that the Qing court was going to give Shi Lang real power to attack Zhoushan
