Pucheng County, the north gate is wide open.

A team of cavalry galloped in front, with thousands of infantry following behind, and the soldiers ran out of the city and marched northward.

At this time, the cavalry was running for more than 30 miles. The leader suddenly stopped the reins of the horse and stared at the front with a serious expression. He saw that the road was full of dead bodies and burning vehicles.

The cavalrymen of Liang generals tied the reins of the horses one after another, and the scouts immediately dispersed from all directions to search and investigate the situation nearby.

"General! It's all over. The enemy's bodies are confiscated. It should have just left not long ago." A scout came over to report after checking.

When Wu Ruyi heard the words, his face was gloomy. He turned over and dismounted, walked to the battlefield to check, "Send scouts to investigate and see where the enemy has run."

Seeing the destruction of the grain transport team, Wu Ruyi felt angry and determined to find the ambush Zheng army and take bloody revenge.

"As for order!" The general immediately clasped his fists, then waved his hand, and a team of Liang troops dispersed to investigate.

At this time, Wu Ruyi walked to a corpse full of arrows and sighed, "Retain the corpses of the brothers."

The soldiers of Liang immediately turned over and dismounted, began to look for the wounded, and cleaned up the bodies of the dead brothers and civilians.

"General! The enemy should have retreated to the northwest!" The scout who searched for clues left behind by the enemy suddenly said loudly.

Wu Ruyi immediately ordered: "They robbed the food and must not run far. He ordered the scouts to continue tracking and then ordered the infantry to speed up."

~~~~~~~

Fuzhou Prefecture, Lianjiang County, Dinghai Institute.

A group of people from Lianjiang County came to the shore and several small sampans quietly shored.

At this time, as soon as the ship approached, a group of Fujian people carried sacks and wooden boxes, preparing to load the ship.

At this moment, a sound of horse hooves came, and the Liang cavalry rushed over, and shouted loudly for the cavalry from afar: "What are you doing?"

Seeing this, the people threw away the goods and scattered. The small sampan hurriedly raised the anchor and raised the sails and hurriedly left the coast.

~~~~~~~

Fuzhou City, temporary palace.

Gao Huan was summoning many subordinates to discuss the situation in Fujian.

"King! Now, except for the prefectures and counties that we directly sent troops to occupy, Tingzhou Prefecture, Shaowu Prefecture, Funing Prefecture and other places have not submitted a report to surrender!" Du Yinxi pointed to the map and said.

This time the Liang army invaded Fujian. Although the Zheng family was defeated, there was no scene when the Liang army attacked Shandong and Hebei.

In the territory of Minyue, the Zheng army fled at the last minute, but rarely surrendered voluntarily, and the states and counties did not surrender in a hurry.

Gao Huan couldn't help but frown, "My decree has been issued, why don't they surrender?"

Du Yinxi pondered: "This may be related to the king's policies, and the Zheng family has been operating Fujian for many years and has a very high prestige."

Gao Huan narrowed his eyes and knew that when he first purged the gentry of Jiangnan, many people fled to the Minyue Kingdom and became senior officials of the Minyue Kingdom.

These people are now the local chiefs of the Minyue Kingdom, and they hate Gao Huan's reform of "officials and gentry paying grain together, and dividing their minus" and also oppose the state-owned reform of Liang Kingdom.

Gao Huan went bankrupt through several cleanings, and confiscated their land. They fled to the Minyue Kingdom in hopes to regain the lost industry by supporting Zheng Zhilong to defeat Liang Kingdom.

Now that the Liang army has entered Fujian, many officials and gentry are unwilling to fail and are still waiting and watching, hoping that the situation can change.

Gao Huan nodded slightly, and then said in a deep voice: "Since they are unwilling to surrender voluntarily, they must immediately send troops to occupy those prefectures and counties that do not surrender."

Du Yinxi nodded and then continued: "The prefectures and counties such as the King are actually easy to solve. Once the army arrives, it can be flattened in one fell swoop. The key is that the islands along the coast cannot be wiped out for the time being. According to the information I received, almost thousands to more than 100,000 people gathered on the islands of Xiamen, Kinmen, Nan'ao, Pingtan, Guantangshan and other large and small islands, ranging from thousands to more than 100,000 people were gathered in the military and civilians of Fujian and Yue!"

Gao Huan looked at the map. The army of Minyue rarely surrendered to the Liang army on its own initiative. After many troops were defeated, they chose to occupy the islands and continue to fight against the Liang army.

Gao Huan originally thought that after he occupied Fuzhou, there would be a scene of falling in sight, but now it seems that Zheng Zhilong gave too much before, so that after these Zheng troops were defeated, they still chose to follow Zheng Zhilong.

Now these Zheng army remnants are entrenched on coastal islands, and the Liang army has no navy coming, so there is no way to deal with them.

Gao Huan said in a deep voice: "Let's implement maritime ban in Fujian first!"

The Zheng family has a high prestige in Fujian, and many gentry and people in Fujian have secretly contacted the Zheng family.

When the Liang army patrolled the coast, they often found that the people were transporting materials to the islands. The Zheng family's smuggled ships also made the Liang army unable to defend themselves.

Now Gao Huan can only send troops to inspect, prohibit the people from going out to sea, and cut off the connection between the Zheng family and the Fujian people.

"King, Fujian is a place with many mountains and few lands, and many people live by sea trade. Especially the tea from northern Fujian is sold overseas. If the sea ban, the people may oppose us even more!" Du Yinxi said in a deep voice.

Gao Huan walked back and forth a few steps in front of the map with his hands behind his back. Thinking about the situation in Fujian, although it could not pose a fatal threat to the Liang army, it was quite energy-consuming and required time and energy to pacify the remaining soldiers in Fujian and clear the coastal islands.

Now the remaining Zheng army soldiers in northern Fujian often raid the Liang army's food supply road, which caused great trouble to the Liang army.

The people in the south colluded with Zheng Zhilong to transport supplies to Zheng Jun, making it difficult for Liang Jun to gain a foothold in Fujian.

"It is easy to defeat the Zheng army. It is not easy to completely annex Fujian, but it is not easy!" Gao Huan stopped and couldn't help but sigh, and then explained: "The sea ban is only a temporary solution, and it is the bargaining chip for me to negotiate with Zheng Zhilong. By the way, when will Zheng Zhibao be able to arrive in Fuzhou?"

Judging from the current situation, Gao Huan felt that it was still necessary to surrender Zheng Zhilong like the Qing Dynasty.

The important reason why the Qing army was able to gain a foothold in Fujian was Zheng Zhilong's surrender.

Zheng Zhilong had a very high prestige in Fujian. After he surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, he surrendered in Fujian and hundreds of thousands of Zheng troops almost without fighting and directly surrendered to the Qing army.

This allowed the Qing Dynasty to quickly control Fujian without much resistance. Only Zheng Sen led a small number of troops to occupy the Xiamen, unable to pose a threat to Fujian.

Finally, it was because of the discrimination and suppression of the Zheng army by the Qing Dynasty that some of the Zheng army defected to Zheng Sen anyway, strengthening Zheng Sen's strength, and Zheng Sen became a threat to the Qing Dynasty.

However, by that time, the Qing army had already gained a firm foothold in Fujian, and Fujian had settled.

Although Zheng Sen had prestige in Fujian, the Qing army gathered heavily, and he could not get much support from the people of Fujian and it was difficult for him to cause too much storm in Fujian.

With the current situation, if some of the Zheng family cannot be surrendered, the Liang army will have to spend a lot of effort to rule Fujian, which will inevitably restrain the Liang State's troops and energy.

Du Yinxi said: "Report to the king, you should be able to arrive in Fuzhou within these few days."

Gao Huan said in a deep voice: "I will discuss here today. After Zheng Zhibao arrived, he would immediately bring me to meet me."
