Zhangzhou, the Golden Triangle in southern Fujian, is a famous land of fish, rice, flowers and fruits. The middle and lower reaches of Jiulongjiang are the largest plains in Fujian. Fujian, where there is no three-point flat area and no sunny day sunny, is really a treasure land. Of course, this is also one of the areas that Fujian Observation has focused on Rong Hong’s business.

Fuzhou, Quanzhou and Zhangzhou can be regarded as the foundation of Rong Hong's rule over Fujian, no matter how Quanzhou was infiltrated by the Tang Dynasty's use of maritime commerce. Here, his rule was still stable. The prefect of Zhangzhou was Rong Hong's brother Rong Wei. There were more than 20,000 troops in Zhangzhou.

However, because of the existence of the Tang Navy, the 20,000 garrisons were all far away from the coastline, and the nearest ones were about fifty miles away. After all, no one wanted to be affected by the fierce firepower of the Tang Navy from the sea. Lingnan has suffered a lot in this regard. Now Lingnan and Fujian have adopted the basically the same model, which is to be 50 miles away from the sea, without giving the Tang army any opportunity to take advantage of. And in places far from the coastline, a large number of fortresses and villages were arranged. As long as the Tang Navy troops dared to go ashore, they would try to make them not have the opportunity to return to the sea.

Officers and soldiers can stay away from the coastline, but ordinary people cannot.

Fishermen still have to make a living by relying on the mountains to eat and water. Even if they are afraid of the Tang army and the pirates, they can only row their own boats to go out to sea to fish. For these fishermen, starving to death and being forced to death by the government's taxes is not much different from dying from storms at sea or being killed by straits and slaughtering the Tang army.

What if you have good luck?

The Fujian Observation Mansion originally planned to withdraw all the residents of the 50 miles of Linhai to the inland, but it was unable to solve the livelihoods of these people. The forced migration caused several civil unrest, and finally let it go. Anyway, the government is leaving, if you want to stay here and fend for yourself, then you will follow it.

Of course, taxes still have to be paid.

It is under such circumstances that many power vacuums have been formed in the coastal areas, becoming a natural gathering place for many lawless people.

The government will only bring people to collect taxes for a few days a month. As long as the tax is paid, they will completely ignore what these people do here.

Muyu Town is this place.

The place where Gao Xiangsheng is settled is here.

For intelligence personnel, such places are their paradise. In these places, they are not only easy to hide, but also unable to collect countless valuable information. The vacuum zone of power does not represent a vacuum zone of interests. It is precisely these places that seem poor and privately, but there are countless wealth flowing privately in the dark.

How could those who are powerful in Fujian give up such a wonderful place?

Pirates, smugglers, and even Green Forest heroes all occupy a piece of land here, sometimes cooperating, sometimes popular and lively. In the end, it is nothing more than the word "interest".

Of course, the Tang Dynasty also has its own stronghold here.

Smuggling businessman Yang Shuo.

Yang Shuo was born and raised by Zhangzhou. He originally did business. When the north and south were still in their honeymoon period, he dared to take risks and hired a ship to the north and brought back countless cheap goods from the north. He sold them and made great profits. He embarked on a business journey of transporting goods from north to south.

Later, the trade policies between the two sides gradually tightened, and his income began to narrow, but the corresponding expenses were naturally indispensable. Here, some government officials, bribe Shangguan, and make friends with heroes from all walks of life to tell them not to use their own profit market. So Yang Shuo began to mix prohibited items in normal goods.

Because these things that are not allowed to trade are often the most profitable.

It was at this stage that Yang Shuo was successfully instigated by the Neiwei and became a spy detective of the Neiwei in Fujian.

Of course, as a well-informed businessman and a brave and risky businessman, Yang Shuo was able to be rebelled by the inner guards because he went to the north many times, saw the prosperity of the north with his own eyes, the integrity of the government, the brave army, and the wealth of the people. Therefore, he believed that defeating the south would be the general trend and an irreversible thing. Only by getting on the boat in the morning can he gain greater benefits.

Later, after the trade between the two sides of the south was completely banned by Xiang Zhen, Yang Shuo became a hot figure in Zhangzhou because he could get many northern items that could not be produced in the south. He made a lot of money. Although everyone knows that Yang Shuo's products must be problematic, and there is no other channel except smuggling, what does it matter?

Good things, everyone wants.

Who doesn’t want to make more money?

Of course, people like Yang Shuo cannot enter the core circle of inner guards, so it seems that he is not low among inner guards, but he can only wander on the edge of inner guards' core circle.

He has never seen Wang Yikun before.

When the inner guards began to find out Wang Yikun's whereabouts, Yang Shuo also made great efforts, but he got nothing. Of course he was also worried because he didn't know Wang Yikun, but Wang Yikun must know him. You must know that Wang Yikun was the chief leader of the inner guards in Lingnan and Fujian.

With just a portrait of Wang Yikun, Yang Shuo activated the power he could to mobilize, but he still gained nothing. When he was safe and sound, he did not take this matter seriously.

In his opinion, that guy must have run away.

When he once again received someone from the inner guard who wanted to come to Zhangzhou to investigate this matter, he never thought that what he would come would be a big man like Gao Xiangsheng.

For Yang Shuo, Wang Yikun is enough to be a big shot, and he has only heard people mention people occasionally, only knowing that they are the highest-level figures.

So he thought that this time the person came was just a false story, so he did not come to Muyu Town at all, but just sent a confidant to Muyu Town to be responsible for the reception.

Yang Shuo has his own warehouse, warehouse, guard team, etc. in Muyu Town. Here, he can be regarded as a powerful man.

Muyu Town was originally a coastal town with only a few thousand people, but after the government retreated, it developed rapidly and gradually gathered tens of thousands of people. The town was naturally overcrowded. However, with the town, countless blue brick houses or simple wooden houses, even a straw shed, emerged like mushrooms after the rain. Compared with ordinary county towns, it was much more lively.

Although this kind of lively and prosperous life is just a deformed prosperity, no matter what, the original people here still live a life of food and clothing.

The prices of all the daily necessities here are much more expensive than other places in Zhangzhou.

Gao Xiangsheng chose this because Desheng Trading Company has a ship repair yard here. The pirate ship is damaged very quickly. Whether it is fired with other pirates or escaping from the pursuit of the official army, it is inevitable to get into trouble, so frequent ship repairs are inevitable.

If Wang Yikun wants to escape, he must have a good ship.

According to the information of the Neiwei, a wheeled oar boat from the Desheng Trading Company was found in the shipyard of the Tang Dynasty Navy. Although it was a broken ship, the main structure was not damaged at all. It was repaired and not to mention that it could be restored to its best state at the time, but there was no problem with 70% or 80% of the state.

And now this wheeled paddle boat has been almost repaired.

Gao Xiangsheng, who was covered with a thick cloak and only had two eyes exposed, sat in the corner of a scattered house. There was a bag on the table, and there were several people dressed like him in this tavern. Everyone was not surprised.

Such people appeared in Muyu Town, and they had never seen them before. There was only one kind of person who sent tourists from Licheng to come here to sell stolen goods. Not someone would come over and sit in front of Gao Xiangsheng, whisper to him, and some even reached out to the bag to explore and take a look.

But it is obvious that no one is too interested. Either they look down on it, or they are too stubborn, or the other party asks for too high prices, anyway, they just can't reach an agreement.

Gao Xiangsheng comes every night, but he looks like he is not in a hurry at all.

"The boat has been almost completed." Another smiling businessman-like man sat in front of Gao Xiangsheng, whispering while reaching out to explore the bag.

"Um!"

"There are two cannons on the ship!"

"What?"

"Architecture!" The visitor uncovered his skin and almost put his face in the skin. "It has been confirmed. Two cannons and forty shells should have flowed out of the navy. Therefore, what you think Wang Yikun must go to sea from Zhangzhou, which is now certain."

"What about that money?"

"It should be on the ship too, but no trace has been found yet. I guess Wang Yikun should have appeared." The man covered himself with a bag and raised his head. "Or it was the day when this person appeared, the money was on board. After all, Wang Yikun took the risk, wasn't it just for this money?"

"Call the operation team here!" Gao Xiangsheng took a deep breath and said, "Just in case, in addition, inform the navy Li Hao as soon as possible. Now Li Hao is waiting for my news on the sea a hundred miles away from Zhangzhou."

"Are you going to catch him at sea?"
