Chapter 15 Surprise, sticky bean buns are falling all over the world
"Chen Anping, the deputy general of Chen Shangchuan, the commander-in-chief of Gaolei Lianzhou in the Ming Dynasty?!" Huang Li was a little confused. When did this happen? He didn't have any title as commander-in-chief.
After pondering for a moment, Huang Li's face showed joy and he quickly ordered: "Summon him in quickly."
Just when I was worried that I had no idea, a sticky bean bag fell from the sky. This naval warfare talent has arrived. Hurry up and build up the navy. Maybe it can play a role in the attack on Guangzhou!
Chen Anping stood respectfully outside. Compared with the Ming army with bright armor, his attire was really shabby, and he was too embarrassed to raise his head.
"It's such a mighty army with strong soldiers and horses. No wonder it's invincible." Chen Anping couldn't help being shocked when he saw the appearance of the Ming army. He was about to see the prince of the prison country, which made him even more uneasy and filled with random thoughts.
I am just a small lieutenant, so why do I dare to report the situation to His Highness because my head is so hot? Will His Highness, the Crown Prince, who is above me, take me seriously? Maybe I can’t even meet him, right?
"General Chen, His Highness summons you in." A guard came out and spoke politely.
Chen Anping quickly saluted and thanked him, and followed the guards into the hall.
The furnishings in the hall are very simple, with a large table and a young man in casual clothes sitting in the chair behind, who seems to be looking over with a smile.
Chen Anping did not dare to take a closer look, so he quickly knelt down and saluted, "Chen Anping, deputy general of Gao Leilian Sanzhen, pays homage to His Royal Highness. A thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand thousand years old."
Wen Xi's voice came over, "General Chen, please rise and give me a seat."
Chen Anping was stunned. He didn't expect that he would be treated like this. How could he still be a good person in front of His Highness the Crown Prince?
At the reminder of the guard, Chen Anping stood up in confusion and sat down in the chair in a daze.
Huang Li waved his hand and ordered the guards to bring tea, and asked in a pleasant manner: "General Chen, tell me about the situation at sea. I really want to know the plight of the martyrs who resisted the Qing Dynasty."
Chen Anping's nose felt sore and he almost shed tears.
It's bitter. It's really not just eating seafood casually and going boating to watch the sea view.
It floated on the sea like duckweed without roots, and it was difficult to eat and sleep. The Qing navy often chased and attacked it, but the shore was deserted, and there was no one with food and clothing.
After compiling his emotions, Chen Anping's voice was a little low, and he said slowly: "There are still several anti-Qingyi divisions at sea. My commander-in-chief and the Secretary of the Ministry of War, Mr. Zhang Huangyan, have joined forces, as well as Yang Er, Xian Biao..."

Huang Li listened attentively and was secretly surprised. He didn't expect Zhang Huangyan to run to Nanhai. If he had known it, he would not have let Luo Zimu go.
But the anti-Qing armed forces at sea still made Huang Li feel happy.
Although the strength is not strong, it can be regarded as a reliable force. If there is the assistance of land resources, it will not take too long to increase the strength.
"Yang Er's real name is Yang Yandi. He was an old general of the Zheng family. He was appointed as the chief military officer of Liwu Town by Zheng Jing. Xian Biao is also an old general of the Zheng family. Li Jifeng has no official status. Xie Chang..."
Huang Li nodded slightly. The elements of these anti-Qing armed forces were relatively mixed. No wonder they could not fight in a unified manner. Even the tone of Chen Anping's words also suppressed Yang Yandi, Li Jifeng, and Xie Chang.
It’s no wonder that Chen Shangchuan claimed to be from an orthodox Ming army background and had been appointed by the Ming court; Yang Yandi was a little worse and was granted the title of the Zheng family; Xian Biao, Li Jifeng and Xie Chang were even worse and were pirates without official positions.<
/p>
"No matter what, they are enemies of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and they keep the clothes of the Ming Dynasty. There is nothing wrong with being called the righteous troops against the Qing Dynasty."
Huang Li asked, but he estimated in his mind that these anti-Qing righteous armies combined had two to three hundred ships and seven to eight thousand people.
"Since you and General Chen have agreed to meet at Tieshan Port, you should do so."
Huang Li had made up his mind and said with a smile: "Tell them that any armed forces who are willing to serve the Ming Dynasty will be given official status by the lonely king and become the navy of the Ming Dynasty."
After a pause, he added: "Guhui led the cavalry to Tieshan Port to meet with all the martyrs. In addition, Baige Village has been occupied by our army. You will go there later to receive ships and sailors..."

"Baige Water Village has been occupied?" Chen Anping blinked his eyes stupidly and muttered as if unconsciously: "Your Highness will go to Tieshan to summon the leaders of various anti-Qing armed forces?"
"Yes, Gu Wanghui will go to you in person." Huang Li emphasized with a smile, "General Chen, you have worked hard all the way. Have a good night's rest. Tomorrow Guhui will send someone to go with you to Tieshangang first."
Tieshan Port is on the west side of Leizhou Peninsula. To get to Baigezhai, you have to sail south, cross the Qiongzhou Strait, and then sail north.
Huang Li estimated the time, but it was too late. He simply turned back and summoned everyone at Tieshan. He took three thousand cavalry with him and traveled back and forth quickly, and he could catch up with the group.
If we can quickly integrate the anti-Qing armed forces at sea, it will be a big help whether it is attacking Xinhui or Guangzhou.
And the person who has enough prestige to be able to convince everyone is probably none other than Ji.
"Yongli is gone, and the official positions he granted will also have to be changed." Huang Li asked his guards to take Chen Anping down to bathe, eat and rest. He thought for a long time and ordered Hong Yuanqi to write an edict.
"The official appointed by Zheng Jing was not serious, so he was granted the title again. The prince of Yanping he inherited was also self-proclaimed. Since the Yongli court is gone, there is no way to report for approval."
Since the various navies were to be merged into one, Huang Li wanted to be re-appointed. According to Chen Anping's description, Chen Shangchuan and Yang Yandi were the two largest armed forces, followed by Xian Biao, Li Jifeng, and Xie Chang.
"The name Liangguang Navy is better. Chen Shangchuan is the admiral of Guangdong Navy, Yang Yandi is the admiral of Guangxi Navy, Xian Biao, Li Jifeng, and Xie Chang belong to Guangdong and Guangxi respectively."
"Yang Yandi is relatively familiar with the situation in Nanyang, and so is Annan. From a long-term perspective, it is most suitable for him to serve as the admiral of the Guangxi Navy."
"After being able to integrate the Guangdong and Guangxi navies, I hope they can join the attack on Xinhui or Guangzhou as soon as possible. Of course, it doesn't matter if they can't catch up. They were not included in the original."
Huang Li is very optimistic about this. Their persistence in such a difficult environment shows their hatred for the Manchus. In other words, the national integrity in their hearts is admirable.
Although they also went ashore to plunder, their military discipline was considered to be better than that of the Qing army, except that they did not kill innocent people indiscriminately.
"Your Highness has the help of the navy. If we attack Xinhui, we can cut off its waterways and annihilate them all in one fell swoop." Zhao Liangdong congratulated him, feeling that this was a great blessing and that another loophole had been blocked.
Huang Li smiled and said: "It's a pity that their strength is not strong enough. Otherwise, it would be even more powerful to carry troops into the Pearl River Estuary and reach the city of Guangzhou."
"A partial division?" Zhao Liangdong did not agree and said: "Dividing the troops is weak, so it is better to attack all the way with a thundering force. The enemy cannot stop it."
Huang Li smiled and nodded, seemingly positive, but he had other thoughts.
If Shang Kexi concentrates the main force on Xinhui, Huang Li does not rule out the strategy of attacking Guangzhou with a partial division and going straight to its heart.
This possibility is possible, but it's really not very high. The strength of several naval divisions that hastily joined forces should not be strong, and they need some time to integrate and hone their forces.
But the situation is always changing. If you prepare a few more plans, you will be more calm and will not be caught off guard by sudden changes.
