"Boss Hong, don't be too busy to refuse." Ji Chunsheng waved his hand, "Sit down, please sit down."

Hong A-si clenched his fists, and the scar on his face was beating uneasy. He forced himself to press the anger in his heart, slowly sat down, picked up the wine glass, and drank it in a sudden sip.

"Boss Hong is at ease. We are wise and do not do secret things. We have seen everything you have done over the past two years and know it clearly. You are a person in the world who keeps your promises and trustworthy words. You should become a part of our prosperous cause."

Ji Chunsheng continued slowly:

"I have already told you about the importance of asking you to come out this time. He is not only related to the premiere of our Fengzhong cause, but also to the overall situation of our head Chen Tianhua in the future. If we master the military power of Chongmingzhi, we can legitimately form our own naval fleet."

"Old brother, we have been thinking about it over and over again. There is no more suitable person than you. This time the task was not decided by me personally. It was approved by our supreme ruler. You can rest assured that you will not suffer any losses after the matter is completed."

He threw out Chen Tianhua mainly to let Hong A-si recognize the importance of this task and the price after making a decision.

"We need a commander who is brave but meticulous in combat. Although Song Xiaoniu and others have been dealing with bandits for a long time, they still have no idea. They are more suitable for charging on the battlefield. This time, in addition to fighting, they need to use their brains more often."

Ji Chunsheng was like an orator who was good at tirades. He pointed to his head and continued:

"We want chaos in Chongming Sandzhou and surrounding Changxing Island to create conditions for our Fengzhong security forces to take the opportunity to intervene, but we cannot seriously damage the vitality of the Chongming Autonomous Region. Otherwise, we will be unhappy and trouble."

"And you, Hong Asi, are familiar with the tricks of bandits and have a well-known reputation in the world. If you enter the East China Sea, Chongming area, you will not only achieve our goals and disrupt Chongming, but also take this opportunity to bring us another elite soldier."

Ji Chunsheng said with his eyes shining brightly.

"Boss Hong, you don't have to reply to me now. Think carefully for a few days and discuss with your old subordinates. I can promise you that how many elite soldiers you have raised in Chongming, we will hand over these soldiers to you to command afterwards. After success, if you are willing to return to southern Gannan, we can hand over the entire Fengzhong Gannan mining industry under your jurisdiction. Song Xiaoniu and others will lead the troops to withdraw. I have another appointment, which can be regarded as a special compensation to you."

"Okay, I'll stop talking about Hong's extra words. Please give me two days to consider. At this time the day after tomorrow, Hong will definitely give you a clear reply. You can just sit down the star tonight." Hong A-Si replied solemnly.

"Okay, two days are only two days. I will stay here tonight. I will take a walk around the mining area tomorrow morning and return the evening after tomorrow. It's not too late to come and listen to your good news."

After Ji Chunsheng finished speaking, he told him about the specific plan and gave a detailed briefing with Hong Asi. After he had enough food and food, he, Song Xiaoniu and others lived in Manxingdie Town.

After more than two years of governance, Manxing Die Town has become more prosperous now.

...

That night, Hong A's four mansions were uneasy, so he sent someone to call some of his old subordinates and confidants to discuss together.

When my brothers heard that my elder brother was going to re-enter the world, they were all very happy. They thought that they had been working under Song Xiaoniu and others in the past few years, so how happy are there for my elder brother?!

Chief Ji said the last compensation condition, which was quite attractive. After the matter was completed, Hong Asi would take his men back to southern Gansu and govern the security forces of Fengzhong Mining in southern Gansu.

This condition means that Fengzhong Group will no longer guard against Hong A-si's people, no longer "provided" him, but will let go of his appointments.

However, the task to Chongming Island this time was quite difficult.

According to Chief of Staff Ji, when Hong Asi went there, his teams could only take away at most one thousand troops. The navy needed to enter Chongming was sent by Fengzhong Navy in Dongting Lake under Chen Er.

Hong A-Si had imagined that if he insisted on his shoulder, he would sigh and shake his head constantly, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

The major general is sure to pay attention to, I am afraid no one can change it!

This night is destined to be Hong A-Si's sleepless night.

...

Eastern Chongming - Baykou Salt Field.

This salt farm is the largest boiling and drying salt farm in Chongming sandbank. It has tens of thousands of salt workers, plus its family members, with a population of 50,000 or 60,000 people. A large population has formed a market town at the entrance of the bay.

The outsiders passing by here can see the poverty here just by taking a look. Except for the few salt governors who are blue bricks and gray tiles, which are quite particular, the rest are mostly simple thatched huts and houses built with trees, densely packed together.

Only a narrow passage of only two meters wide was left between the houses. The entire settlement area was filled with sewage, which was extremely smelly and had extremely harsh living environment.

The bare-butt children ran happily in this narrow alley with barefoot. The sewage splashed from their feet fell into the pots of women who were preparing supper from time to time, causing a burst of angrily scolding.

The boys do not know the taste of sorrow, so naturally these dolls don’t know that even the food that was stained by sewage, their parents would never be willing to throw it away. Even if they smelled the strange smell during the meal, they could only sigh and swallow it with their noses.

There is no overnight food at home, so it is most suitable to describe them.

Apart from cheap seafood, there are many dead fish and rotten shrimps, and animal meat eating is very rare. Except for the end of the year, no one in ordinary families can afford pork, let alone beef and mutton. White flour steamed buns are occasionally found, but that is also for men who work hard in the salt fields.

Women, elderly, and children often only eat black buns mixed with wild vegetables and noodles. Even so, there will always be two months in a year that they have to endure hunger so that they can save some food and allow men who are working hard outside to eat more.

I could barely pass the days before, but a typhoon a month ago put the people here in a desperate situation. The storm destroyed their homes on which they depended for survival, and their former habitat turned into ruins.

They could only set up some simpler shacks temporarily and struggled to wait for relief from the government office. It was already difficult to see smoke rising here at mealtime.

More people describe the tidy salt fields in the distance, with their empty eyes, and the production capacity is increasing every day, but none of them belongs to them.
