Wang Dong did it as soon as he said that since it took time to transport the materials from the rear to Fuzhou, but it was time to stop Nian Gengyao, Wang Dong decided to send an elite squadron composed of 30 warships to head south first, and at the same time sent a liaison expressway to Penghu, notifying Taiwan's Penghu navy to receive the order and go directly to Quanzhou to join. Once Nian Gengyao was intercepted in Quanzhou, he immediately used a ship to attack Quanzhou. He could no longer give him the opportunity to strengthen the clear world.

As for the main force of the navy, the navy will temporarily wait for the arrival of subsequent supplies, and the army will also send a thousand vanguards to advance towards Quanzhou, and the army will wait for the supplies to arrive and follow up.

Overall, this tactic is not a big problem, and from the current situation, letting Nian Gengyao strengthen the clearing of the field will make the Ming army more and more difficult to supply. Although it shows that the army has the convenience of a navy, these supplies are far from enough to support the Ming army in a long battle. Moreover, Fujian is mountainous and difficult to walk on the roads. As the front line continues to be delayed, the pressure on logistics is getting greater and greater.

Furthermore, Fuzhou has become an empty city now. Once there is a disturbance in the local area, and the people who are interested will be provoked, it will be even more trouble for the people in Fuzhou to make trouble. Without a safe rear, how can this war be fought? Then, let alone occupy Fujian, even the city of Fuzhou that has been captured will have to be given up.

Wang Dong and Yang Xu's considerations were not unreasonable, but in fact, the same was true. On the day after the Ming army occupied Fuzhou City, rumors began to spread in Fuzhou City, saying that because the Ming army did not get money and food from the Qing court's treasury, the generals of the Ming army were angry and decided to force the levy of the people to meet the needs of the army. All the people in Fuzhou City were drawn from ten to three according to their assets. If there were any shortcomings or those with no permanent property, their families would be directly charged into the army to serve...

For a time, people in Fuzhou were panic and undercurrents. There were even several incidents of people rushing to the city gate soldiers trying to escape from Fuzhou. Fortunately, Wang Dong and Yang Xu acted quickly and hurriedly led people to maintain public order in the city, reaffirming military discipline, and posting notices for the people everywhere. At the same time, some of the supplies they accompanied the army were taken out to invest in the local market to stabilize the food prices that were fluctuating due to rumors and soothe people's hearts. They even made up their minds to arrest a group of people who were causing trouble on the streets and execute them on the spot.

They comforted each other and were strong and strong. They finally suppressed this matter, but even so, the entire Fuzhou was still in extreme unstable. But now they can only do so much. After all, as the capital of Fujian Province, Fuzhou has always been unaware of the Ming army, especially before Lan Li, Nian Gengyao and others left, they promoted everywhere that the Ming army was bandits, bandits, demon kings who killed people without blinking, and thieves who ate the hearts of living people, and so on, so there was no need to expect how good the people in Fuzhou would be towards the Ming army.

The situation was not until the third day after Chen Wuxian arrived in Fuzhou City, and then gradually improved. Chen Wuxian was originally from Fujian and was a well-known leader of the rebel army in Fujian. In addition, after Chen Wuxian started his army, his troops were strict in military discipline, and they were completely unscrupulous to the people and were deeply loved by the people of Fujian. With Chen Wuxian personally taking the initiative to guarantee, and subsequent materials arrived one after another with the fleet, the large amount of materials invested greatly alleviated the shortage of materials in Fujian, so the rumors naturally failed to attack.

But in this way, the army needed even more in short supply. Fuzhou is not a small city, it is a big city. The amount of materials needed to be invested in stable areas is extremely large. As one goes up and down, the Ming army's own materials can only be maintained barely. At least before Ningbo mobilized a large amount of supplies to support the south again, the army could only temporarily stay in Fuzhou.

"I know now. Why did you, Old Yang, have to kill Nian Gengyao?" Wang Dong said gritting his teeth. Yang Xu was sitting opposite him, and Chen Wuxian was next to him.

"Although Nian Gengyao was born as a Jinshi, he has always been tricky and ruthless. In addition, this person never cared about means to achieve his goal, and he had no sense of shame. This guy could do such a thing. I should have thought of it before going south. He was really careless..." Yang Xu shook his head with shame on his face.

"Okay, Lao Yang, it's not your fault. Who knew that Nian Gengyao would be like this? By the way, Brother Chen, there is no big problem in Fuzhou City now. Thanks to you coming early, otherwise this trouble would be really not easy to solve." Wang Dong said, and then said to Chen Wuxian.

"It's thanks to the strong support of Wang Shuai and General Yang to calm down the matter. Nian Gengyao did this so hard, but he finally had already comforted him. However, when will Wang Shuai arrive in the later stage? It is said that Nian Gengyao is about to retreat to Quanzhou. If he comes again, this is still a big trouble!"

In Chen Wuxian's words, he clearly told Wang Dong that he must integrate his troops and accelerate his southward movement as soon as possible. If Quanzhou is the same as Fuzhou at that time, then the next battle will be even more difficult.

Wang Dong was certainly clear about this situation. He calculated the time and said: "Mr. Wu has received an urgent report and said that he is hurrying up to transport it. I think the follow-up supplies will be shipped in a few days. Moreover, I had already sent a warship to Quanzhou a few days ago. In addition, General Zhang Fei and Zhang from Penghu are probably also in Quanzhou at this time. As long as he can intercept Nian Gengyao in Quanzhou, it will not be so easy for him to repeat the same trick."

"That's good." Chen Wuxian breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly rushed over and said that there was an emergency military report.

When he took the military newspaper, he saw that it was sent by Zhang Fei to a express ship. Wang Dong immediately smiled and said, "Cao Cao Cao, Cao Cao said, "I'm talking about Quanzhou and General Zhang, but General Zhang's military newspaper has come. I guess they have intercepted Nian Gengyao, Mom Xipi in Quanzhou! I want to see if Nian Gengyao has his tail bitten and has any chance to build a clear wall?"

As he said that, he opened the envelope of the military newspaper and looked at it. But after seeing it, Wang Dong was stunned, as if he couldn't believe his eyes. He picked up the letter and read it again. His face turned white first and then turned ashen again.

"Ship Wang, what happened?" Seeing that Wang Dong's expression was wrong, Yang Xu and Chen Wuxian felt a little nervous at the same time and asked hurriedly.

"The navy sent to Quanzhou has something to happen, you can see." Wang Dongqiang suppressed his anger and handed the military report in his hand to Yang Xu. His fists were clenched tightly, and his teeth were even more chewed.

The military newspaper was sent by Zhang Fei to a express ship, but it was not good news, but bad news. Although the warship sent by Wang Dong arrived in Quanzhou in time, who would have thought that when he first started attacking Quanzhou and tried to intercept Nian Gengyao's troops, Lan Yanzhen's main navy suddenly appeared from the sea and rushed to the squadron that was shelling Quanzhou.

In a hurry, the squadron quickly turned around to fight, but because the squadron was located close to Quanzhou Port, Lan Yanzhen's main naval force came from the sea and directly occupied the favorable terrain. From the beginning of the war, the squadron was at an absolute disadvantage in terms of the number of warships, geographical location, wind direction, etc.

In a fierce battle, although the squadron fought back desperately with a few attacks, they still did not escape the defeat. If Zhang Fei's Penghu Navy had not arrived at the battlefield in time before the battle was about to end, the squadron would have been sent to the sea. But even so, only four of the thirty warships survived by chance, and the squadron commander Lu Zhanglin was buried in the belly of the fish with the flagship.

Seeing that the Penghu Navy arrived, Lan Yanzhen did not fight and withdrew from the battle in an orderly manner. The Penghu Navy also ended because of her rush to treat the damage to the squadron and the falling sea personnel, and the situation of the enemy was unknown and unchased, so the battle ended.
