"Last General Zhao Hua." The young officer announced his name and saluted the very conspicuous Chen Shangchuan: "I have met General Chen."

Chen Shangchuan quickly returned the gift, not daring to show his identity, and said: "General Zhao, no courtesy."

"I am just a general bannerman, I dare not call myself a general."

Zhao Hua smiled horribly and said: "Vice General Chen has already rushed to catch up with His Highness and report the situation as soon as possible. He asked General Chen to lead the fleet to sail along the coastal sea and meet at Tieshan Port in Leizhou."

Looking at Zhao Hua's attire and hairstyle, Zhang Huangyan and Chen Shangchuan no longer have any doubts. The soldiers brought by Chen Anping have also returned, so they can be more sure of the truth.

"General Zhao, this is Lord Zhang Huangyan, Secretary of the Ministry of War." Chen Shangchuan extended his hand to introduce.

Zhao Hua hurriedly paid his respects, and Zhang Huangyan stepped forward with a smile to help him up, and asked eagerly: "I am wandering at sea and have no information. May I ask General Zhao to explain the current situation?"

Zhao Hua blinked, a little confused, obviously not knowing where to start.

Zhang Huangyan hurriedly reminded: "When I was in the sea between Jiangsu and Zhejiang, I heard that His Highness led the army to sweep across Huguang, and later showed off his troops in Nanjing. I know nothing about what happened after that."

Zhao Hua nodded, but when he saw that Chen Shangchuan had actually brought a chair in person, he couldn't help but look frightened and resigned repeatedly.

"Your Majesty defeated Wu Bagui's army in Shuixi, captured the injured Wu Bagui alive, forced him to surrender, and wrote a letter to persuade Yunnan General to surrender..."

Huang Li scratched his head, laughed twice, and said without any bad intentions: "The last general only knows so little, don't blame Zhang Shangshu and General Chen."

Of course, at my level, I only know a general idea, but I only know some confidential things.

Zhao Huaqing's confidence increased slightly, and he had no understanding of the leading party. He decided to pretend to be defeated and continued eastward, retreating into Yangjiang County in Zhaoqing Prefecture, following the old road used by King Li Jin to attack Xinhui, and heading straight for Guangzhou.

It's just that those Green Camp soldiers who have not yet recovered but still have claims to the enemy are carrying strange flags so that the Ming army can distinguish them and avoid attacking by mistake.

Chen Shangchuan let out a long breath, suppressed his emotions, and said hastily: "Your Majesty wants to imitate King Li Jin in conquering Guangdong, but there must be no chance of winning. You will set off immediately, go to Tieshan later, and meet with Your Majesty as soon as possible.

”

There is no hope of Xiao Ming's revival. At least the friendly forces have captured Lianzhou and Leizhou is about to be recovered. We are no longer a lonely army wandering here. The endless hardships are finally over.

The Ming army's rear vanguard is approaching Gaozhou, and the small group following Yu Qi has also arrived in Wuchuan. I gave the rear vanguard an order to strengthen reconnaissance and spying, but it was an oversight.

"Back then, King Li Jin attacked Xinhui City, but failed to conquer it for half a year, resulting in a complete defeat. If you can recapture Xinhui and open the small west gate to Guangzhou, you will do a great job!"

Yes, it can be said that Zhao Hua's liquidation made a small contribution. The eastern expedition to Guangdong turned into a surprise attack on Guangzhou, which penetrated directly into the heart. If the Qing army was caught off guard.

"Before regaining Yunnan, your army rested for two months. Your army issued a proclamation for the Eastern Expedition, led your army to retreat into Guangxi, made an emergency landing in Liuzhou, and forced the Guangxi Admiral Ma Xiong to land in Liuzhou. In Guilin, you eliminated the national security and reinforcements of the Four Banners generals...

”

A handwritten letter was also sent to him, praising him and ordering him to make new contributions. No additional reward had been added before.

It was really a strange scene. The Green Camp under Zhao Huaqing had frequent contact with the Ming army, and they got along well with each other. They were your enemies, but they seemed to be separate from each other. He was busy with his business, and you were busy with yours.

The Ming army's achievements in repeated battles and victories also brought my surrender to the extreme. In addition to admiration, Zhao Huaqing also felt awe-inspiring in his heart and kept admonishing himself.

The trend of public opinion and political offensive can be stopped, and the gap that has not yet appeared between the Manchu and Han officials will be narrowed, and the suspicion between us will be deeper.

Whether General Zhao knew it or not, he opened his mouth so small that it turned upside down. The storytellers dared to speak so plainly, which made me feel like I was in a dream.

Yu Qiwu took it seriously and said with a smile: "Yang Qi is an advantage. He is the closest to your army. We are going to Tieshan together to pay homage to Qian Sui."

Chen Shangchuan's hand stroking his beard was trembling slightly, and he kept that posture for a long time. The shock and surprise made my heart boil, and I still didn't know what to say.

Ah, ah? Chen Shangchuan and Yu Qiwu almost made the same sound, their eyes rolled, and they regained a bit of confusion.

"The majesty is so brave and capable of attacking, it's amazing." Yu Qiwu hated his lack of words, and the adjectives he said were sufficient even for himself.

"It's so fast to withdraw from the exhibition. I hope Yu Qiqing can keep the lid on longer." Zu Ze looked at the map and felt that if he could get to Lowzhou before being exposed, he would not be close to Guangzhou.

"Your Majesty has a very careful mind. You should be cautious these days. You can get carried away and be wrong. He is a shrewd master, but he is trying to fool you."

Huang Li's eloquence is also extraordinary, his narration is straightforward and concise.

"Failures one after another are the smallest catalyst to unite the military and boost morale."

Zu Ze glanced out of the corner of his eyes. Zhao Liangdong was collecting documents and information beside him. He pursed his lips slightly and showed a somewhat slow smile.

When Yu Qiwu came back, Yu Qiwu hadn't figured it out yet and said, "General Chen is going to send people to inform our various undersea armed forces to go to Tieshan, Leizhou. At the same time, he wants to warn us not to harass and rob the low-level Lei Lianba again."

State."

General Zhao nodded repeatedly and said: "That's right."

Yu Qiyue looked at the information sent by the Military Intelligence Department, pondered for a long time, and then wrote and gave instructions.

………………

"The so-called people's hearts are fickle. Those who seemed loyal to the Qing court in history, including the four Han banners that have not yet raised their nationality, can be won over and will remain loyal to the Qing court."

But the earth-shattering change in the situation still made Chen Shangchuan, Yu Qiwu, and the officers and soldiers who were watching intoxicated, or rather stunned.

At this time, the guards came back to report, and the Lianzhou garrison sent a man to meet him inside.

After receiving the delay report from Yu Qiqing, Yu Qi immediately dispatched a battalion of troops and rushed to Baigezhai to take over the defense. Although he had taken the Qing navy, Zuze really dared to use it immediately.

Although the Ming army in the Eastern Expedition had no navy, Zu Ze was still full of confidence in conquering Guangzhou. Yu Qi was even more delighted when not a single navy was obtained out of thin air.

Zhao Hua had no choice but to sit down, recall a little, and then said: "When your army marched across the Yangtze River and showed off its power in Nanjing, your Majesty had not returned to the east of Sichuan, so you led the army to the west of the water to aid An Kun's anti-Qing uprising...

”

Is there a ventilated wall in the world? It is possible to completely block the news. We haven’t taken Lian Lei Qizhou yet, and the low state is also close behind, so the battle will be avoidable.

Zhao Huaqing, who entered Gaozhou (Maoming area) without him, received the imperial edict, and the Jin Dynasty named him General Xinwei and Emperor Qingyuanbo.

"There are actually generals and talents who are not capable of naval warfare." Zu Ze smiled bitterly. He grabbed hundreds of small warships, and only a few of them were capable of naval warfare, so they could only exist in Baige Village first.

The weaker the momentum, the more brilliant the failure, and the fewer officials and generals who want to change jobs. The so-called virtuous cycle is roughly like that.

What was a phone call in the past life, but in ancient times, it was not just a late call on horseback, it would take several days, or even ten days.

I pinched my calf hard, wow, it really hurts!

General Zhao laughed, glanced at the officers and soldiers who had just listened, and whispered: "Those guys, have they remembered what they just heard? Go and preach separately, don't keep the small happy event of that day to yourself."<

/p>

Huang Li bowed and saluted, and said: "The general will report in now and return to the station."

"Before returning to Nanning, your Majesty led the army to retreat eastward. The Qing army fought and fled. Your army recovered Lianzhou, and Leizhou will probably fight with bloody swords."

Zhao Huaqing acted according to the plan and did a very good job. The Ming army followed quickly and successfully passed through Lianzhou and entered Leizhou (Zhanjiang area).

Although he had made a small contribution, he accompanied the army in the battle. He was promoted to an official in Nanning based on his seniority, and he led a hundred recruits. He knew everything before the battle in Shuixi.

In terms of strength, it was originally like the Fujian and Zhejiang naval divisions. However, not part of the Fujian and Zhejiang naval divisions were transferred to the Yangtze River, so the two naval divisions were considered equally matched.

The bad thing is that Huang Li, the commander-in-chief, is also a veteran.

"It's not an unexpected surprise, even though it is at the place where Zhao Huaqing is stationed. According to the rule of 'if something is unexpected, it will be unexpected', and it has been hidden until now. Shang Kexi has not had much time to calmly deploy the defense.

”

Everyone laughed one after another, even claiming that it was, they couldn't hide their excitement and excitement, and they didn't lose their composure.

Zu Ze is now worried about chaos within the army. A vigorous group is like a small company in a rising industry with a dark future, and everyone will flock to it and compete for employment.

Concentrate the troops and attack Guangzhou. Guangdong will be decided in one battle. The plan went so smoothly that Zu Ze also forgot to give incentives.

"Zu Zeqing, leave quickly." General Zhao saw him off with a smile on his face.

Moreover, the news that Wang Shi Guilin Xiaojie has entered Guangdong has spread, and the stabilizing forces in Guangdong have not yet been mobilized. No matter how you look at it, Shang Kexi will also be finished.

Chen Shangchuan stroked his beard and smiled, and said: "The small army following you is weak and strong, but it lacks water divisions to help. You can recruit as few men and ships as possible, which will be the icing on the cake."

Zhao Huaqing had to look forward to Shu, followed his troops from Gaozhou, and continued to push back eastward. In my opinion, it is not certain that the palace can conquer Guangzhou, it is a bad performance. When can we wait?

At that time, the Guangdong and Guangdong Navy, or Guangdong Navy, was stationed in seven villages. They were Baige Village, Zhelin Village, Jieshi Village, Nantou Village, and Baisha Village, guarding the Guangxia coastal area from Chaozhou to Beibu Gulf.<

/p>

"General Zhao, please take a seat." Chen Shangchuan did not feel condescending at all, and was as eager as Zhang Huangyan, "I feel the same as Zhang Shangshu, General Zhao, please speak slowly."

From a corner of eastern Sichuan, the eight provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangxi have not yet been recovered. In less than half a year, it is an achievement that people can only dream of.
