Seeing that Fan Shichong had spoken, he shirked responsibility, and the governor of Fujian Huang Bingzhong could not sit still. He was the prince's group and the chief official of Fujian. He kept suppressing and dragging him to various excuses to inspect the various prefectures, but he did not go to the most powerful Quanzhou, Zhangzhou and Funing areas. He bowed on his chair and said, "Supervisor, Quan, Zhangzhou and Funing, the two prefectures in Quanning, Quan, Zhangzhou and Funing have had a serious drought since last year. The emperor intercepted 300,000 stones of grain to help the people in the disaster in this area. The other prefectures in Fujian were also severe. The drought in spring was particularly severe this year. The lower officials and others inspected everywhere, and did not dare to slack off. Unexpectedly, the relief area took the lead in causing trouble and spread quickly, which was beyond the expectations of the lower officials.

The former supervisor of the Taiwan Strait has been dismissed since November last year. Zhejiang was originally a land of fish and rice, and last year it was a bumper year. Xiaguan and others wanted to second the rice and grain from Zhejiang, but the governor of Zhejiang tried every means to refuse, and Xiaguan and others were powerless."[.]

When Fan Shichong heard this, Huang Bingzhong turned around and accused him of being too late to take up his post and not being able to coordinate with Fujian and Zhejiang provinces, he immediately became alert. Huang Bingzhong was promoted to governor from Fujian last year and had been in Fujian for five years. He had a deep foundation. If he deliberately provoked a dispute over governorship, his foothold would not be stable, but it would be a big problem. It would be better to take this opportunity to integrate Fujian officials.

Thinking of this, Fan Shichong said with a solemn expression: "You and I are both appointed officials of the court. As the saying goes, eating the king's salary and bearing the king's worries, how can you sit and watch the destruction of half of Fujian Province? This governor has also read the revelations issued by the hungry people's riots, pointing out that local officials embezzle relief money and grain, and local wealthy families and tycoons live in the market. In response to this article, I believe that the hungry people in the southwestern Fujian should be suppressed, and the riots should be used to suppress, and the suppression should be used. This governor has ordered the Fujian Governor Lan Li to send troops to the expedition and suppression. I hope that everyone here will work together with the governor to collect and transfer grain and grass to the southwestern governments..."

Quanzhou Prefecture, Fujian Land Admiral’s Office.

When the Admiral Lan Li heard about the reward of the four prefectures of Zhangzhou and Funing, he was stunned for a long time. Lan Li was from Zhangpu, Fujian. She ethnic group, who practiced martial arts since childhood and was extremely brave. He was a famous "Baofu General" in the Kangxi Dynasty. When he was conquering Taiwan, he made many military achievements and was promoted to the admiral. He had never read books since he was a child. He was generous and rough and straightforward. However, his son Lan Guoding was dependent on the prince.

Lan Li had already received a secret letter from his son, asking him to take a laissez-faire attitude towards the hungry people in Quanzhou, Zhangzhou and Funing. This requirement was just to raise his hand. He only cared about military affairs, regardless of civil affairs, as long as he did not rebel, it would have nothing to do with him. What's more, he had always been disgusted with the wealthy families, and he had heard of local officials' corruption and relief of money and food, so he was happy to watch the fun.

He also never expected that the situation would take such a sharp turn. The two counties in Yongchun and Dehua in Quanzhou would spread so quickly, and in just five days, Quanzhou, Zhangzhou and Funingzhou had already reversed the flag and erected four flags, and began to spread to Longyan, Yanping and Tingzhou. The number of thieves was already known as one hundred thousand.

He was also an old military service, and the rebel forces were developing so rapidly that he would not believe that there was no effective manpower behind this or planning. However, at this point, he had no other way except to secretly complain about it. He had to start all 30,000 troops from his headquarters and divide his troops into three groups to fight for the expedition and suppression. At the same time, he submitted a memorial to Kangxi to report the details. No matter what the reason for the rebellion, with such a great momentum, he, the land admiral in Fujian who was in Quanzhou, could not escape. If he was not proactive, the admiral would probably end up being the end.

When Fan Shichong's handwritten order came, Lan Li had already led 30,000 troops into Annan Prefecture. He only asked the master to reply in a short sentence, "There is no grass in the place where he passes. I hope the Lord Supervisor will guarantee the troops, horses, food and grass."

Guangdong and Fujian were close to each other, and Chaozhou Prefecture was even closer to Zhangzhou, Fujian. The rebellion of Zhangzhou Prefecture scared the Chaozhou Prefecture half to death. While reporting to the Guangzhou Governor for 800 miles, requesting troops to be sent to the station, the county was strictly ordered to closely monitor the movements of the rebels in Fujian.

After Yinzhen returned to Macau, he was not idle. He first checked the second-class battleship. The Montedo was not very damaged, and Jia Shidu was willing to flatter him and dispatched all good men to repair it. It was expected that he would go to sea in three days, which made Yinzhen feel very happy.

When he returned to the temporary station of Macau Customs, Yinzhen began to write letters. In early March, Kangxi issued a mansion to all parts of the north to prepare for drought resistance. Yinzhen had already seen it in Guangzhou. Although Kangxi did not send him a secret letter, after careful consideration, he felt that he had to do his best to save the people from water and fire, and also gain more holy favors. Why not do it? If the money is gone, it is profitable.

Yinzhen first ordered Jiang Customs, Zhejiang Customs, and Shanghai Sand Ship Association that all sand ships on the north were allowed to ship grain. Tianjin Customs opened the purchase at a price of 20% higher than the market price, and notified the "Four Great Hengs" to ensure the flow of cash and silver notes of Tianjin Customs.

After thinking for a while, he felt that this severe drought was a great opportunity for the implementation of high-yield crops such as corn, sweet potatoes, and potatoes in the north. Although the Agricultural College has not yet opened a hospital, these things can be tried to be implemented first, which can be regarded as accumulating experience for the Agricultural College.

At this time, the three high-yield crops north of the Yellow River had not yet begun to vigorously promote these three high-yield crops, and the seeds were still a big problem. After meditating for a while, he sent his personal guard to Guangzhou to search and buy seeds of these kinds of farming. He also wrote a letter to Shi Shichen, asking him to collect three crops, corn and sweet potatoes, which have been planted along the coast for many years, but he had not eaten the potatoes after he came. I wonder if they had been passed on? So he specifically told Shi Shichen to go to Taiwan to see that the Dutch had been in Taiwan for many years, and it should have been passed on to Taiwan.

Then he wrote a secret copy to Kangxi, reported in detail about the assassination, and sent the captured bows and arrows together. Such a big thing could not be hidden from Kangxi, and then reported on the transportation of grain. Then, Yinzhen mentioned that the climate was abnormal and the densely populated areas should be strictly prevented from plague. Later, he mentioned the promotion of three types of crops after the drought. Finally, he requested the establishment of a Coastal Defense Tongzhiya in Macau to strengthen the management of Macau and the coastal areas outside Macau.

After the inspection was completed, he sent the orders, letters and secret copies together in the Clippers.

On March 30, Yinzhen received a private message forwarded by Guangdong Governor Man Pi. In the words of the three days of closure, he had nothing to gain and was very frightened. He couldn't help but laugh. This guy was just pretending. These officials were too late to hide in such a case and would do his best to investigate it. However, the news of Fujian's rebellion after the letter made Yinzhen stunned for a while. There was such a big peasant uprising in the Kangxi Dynasty? Why haven't you heard of it? Is it originally there, or did I change it myself? I seem to have nothing to do with Fujian. Just make a fuss. Since I haven't heard of it, I probably can't cause any big waves. Besides, there is no room for him to intervene in this matter. Yinzhen pondered for a moment and put it aside.

On the second day of April, Yinzhen returned to Shanghai on the newly repaired Montedo. This second-class battleship would face the fate of dismemberment when he returned to Shanghai, and he was too lazy to try to change his name.
