"With the support of the people, our army will surely win." Zhao Liangdong said with emotion, and he was also changing his mind.

The Qing army also needed auxiliary troops, but they were forced to recruit troops. He had never seen such enthusiastic support without regard to compensation.

Huang Li smiled and chinned his head, turned to Hong Yuanqi and told Hong Yuanqi: "While we are setting up camp and resting, make a batch of front-end notes to support the army and distribute them to the people who are marching with the army. After Guangzhou is liberated, we will pay them according to the front-end notes."

After a pause, he added: "Anyone who provides assistance to our army, such as filling ditches to cross rivers, digging trenches and pushing carts, will be treated accordingly."

Hong Yuanqi hurriedly bowed and asked for instructions: "Dare you ask Your Highness to confirm the amount."

Huang Li pondered for a moment and said: "The front-end tickets do not reward gold or silver, but the land in Qiongzhou is given. Each front-end ticket to support the army can get thirty acres."

From the third year of the Sui Dynasty, when Hainan Island restored Zhuya County in Yazhou, until the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the Central Dynasty used Hainan Island as a place to exile "criminal ministers".

Although Zhu Yuanzhang once issued an imperial edict to develop Hainan Island, he upgraded Qiongzhou to a prefecture, established a governance system of counties, prefectures, and prefectures, and conducted household registration surveys and land surveying.

However, the measures are not perfect enough and cannot have much real effect. Up to now, the population of Hainan Island is only a few hundred thousand, the food is barely self-sufficient, and there is still a large amount of wasteland that has not been developed and utilized.

Not to mention hundreds of thousands, millions are no problem. Hainan Island has unique conditions. It can produce three crops a year, and there are many cash crops, such as coconut, hematoxylin, ramie, etc.

It must be that Guangdong is too far away from Qichuan, and the post-payment check issued by Su Li did not even grant the land in Qichuan.

"Huang Li is a man of his own strength, and it is expected that he will seek justice." Zhao Liangdong didn't care too much about this, and he also treated Huang Li with contempt and respect.

But since Huang Li is a sea pirate, he is weak at sea. When it comes to fighting on land, he is not much different from the Zheng family. They are both relatively good at it.

Your feet are bare and you have worn shoes for many years, but they still feel irritated. As a man, your chest is tightly tied up. Although your clothes are shabby, they still cover your neck.

Deng Dayue scraped off the mud under the shovel with a big stick, then picked up the shovel and walked towards the dining shed.

With that said, I turned to the inside of the city wall, looked around for a moment, turned around and said with a smile: "You villains have arranged everything carefully, which makes Xu feel like he has nothing to lose!"

For example, the commander-in-chief Xu Jiehui, Xu Chenggong, deputy general Wu Tuizhong and others are still the veterans who stuck to Xinhui back then. They are also cannibals and commit extremely small crimes.

Xu Erxian and others nodded in agreement, feeling quite confident about defending the city for a few months.

At this time, there were more than 80,000 Qing troops assembled in Xinhui City, some of whom were Green Camp generals, but the generals and officers were all officers from the Shangkexi domain.

When Li Dingguo attacked Zhaoqing, he ordered his soldiers to use cloth bags to pile up soil to form a wall, plant trees to form a fence, and use playing cards as cover. They stayed close to the city wall and used shotguns to snipe the Qing troops.

At noon, the sun hangs in the sky, radiating coldness generously. It is already early winter, but it is the right time for the temperature.

Xu Jie once traveled to Hainan Island. Xu Jie remembered that the cultivated land area of ​​Hainan Island at that time was less than 81 million acres. Now only more than half of it has been developed, maybe!

Otsuki really hopes to live under the land, but under the big ship that rocks day and night. What's more, before the coastal border was moved, the life of Shuto was extremely miserable.

Two meals a day, eight meals a day, for those wealthy people who support the family, it is not even a dream but a standard they dare to imagine.

As the general who held firm in Zhaoqing and thwarted King Li Jin's attack on the city, Xu Jiehui became famous in one battle and became Shang Kexi's trustworthy city defense expert.

When Zhao Liangdong followed thousands of troops and rushed to Xinhui, he was relieved to see that the city had not yet fallen.

Zhao Liangdong waved his hand and said humbly: "That's ridiculous."

The main thing is that you have money. Even if you attack Guangzhou, grab the gold and silver property that Shang Kexi young man looted, and recover your small business, it will still take a long time.

The Ming army dug deep trenches on the north, south, and west sides and adopted a posture of surrounding eight buildings. For Zhao Liangdong and other generals, this was simply a child's play.

It can be admitted that those generals are still loyal to the land, but they also have no rich experience in how to defend the city. But in Sully's view, the more empiricism is relied on, the more miserable the defeat will be.

Men disguise themselves as women and work hard just for this ticket to support the rear and the army. As a small household, they are Xu Luju, which is listed in the household registration, and they live on boats. They are engaged in fishing, pearl hunting and other labors, and they are counted as Ding.

Pay taxes to the official...

You Yunlong secretly rolled his eyes, not accustomed to the palace's whimsical thoughts.

Shang Kexi placed his hopes on Xinhui and the generals who had successfully blocked Li Dingguo's small army.

Xu Chenggong's face became more solemn and he said in a deep voice: "The enemy does not have any kind of muskets, which are very sharp. Your army was on the defensive at the beginning, and some of the defenders were injured or killed."

In Su Li's plan, recovering Xiao Ming only fulfilled a big goal. Revitalizing China and standing on top of the world again is my ultimate dream.

Deng Dayue took out his wooden bowl, filled a small bowl of dry rice, poured vegetable soup, then found a place with a lot of people in the shed, sat down carefully, and started eating.

Immigration can quickly solve the problem of less land and more people in Guangdong. A small number of Han people retreating to Hainan Island can bring advanced production technology to the Li people and cultivate a small amount of cultivated land.

Zhao Liangdong and other generals inspected the city defenses under the strict protection of their own soldiers. A small battle was about to begin. Although there was no shortage of faces, they were not afraid.

"Xu Xiaoren, please look, the enemy is making preparations to attack the city." Xu Erxian pointed to the dotted mountains of earth piled up in the city, the winding trenches, and the crowded working people, and introduced, "It's not eight days yet.

It is estimated that the enemy will launch a retreat soon."

Xu Chenggong echoed: "You all admire Xu Xiaoren's method of defending the city. If you lead the army here, Xinhui will be impregnable!"

"Jieshi Huangli rebelled and gathered tens of thousands of gang members to attack Huizhou." Xu Chenggong said in a deep voice: "The prince is going to send the Seventh Young Master to lead thousands of elite troops to conquer and fight quickly to solve this hidden danger."

When the roar of muskets rang out, Zhao Liangdong asked curiously: "The enemy is also using muskets to snipe at the city. The old thief used this trick in Zhaoqing."

It is unimaginable that digging a tunnel through the foundation of the city wall and into the city would be a huge undertaking.

Zhao Liangdong shook his head slightly and realized why the protection around us was so tight. But relying solely on musketry and sniping is obviously enough to attack a fortified city.

"It's time to eat, it's time to eat!" Following the shout, the people stopped working one after another, talking and laughing and walked towards the nearby mat shed.

Su Li blinked, as if he heard some key words, and then corrected: "Yes, eighty acres is enough, give me seventy acres."

A group of poor people who have been abandoned by the times, just waiting to be beheaded before the city is broken, become an example of Xu Jie's justice and shock Xiao Da!

Even though Huang Li doesn't have tens of thousands of troops now, in the eyes of insiders, a small group of untrained civilians is not a mob.

………………

Bring it to him, any land, any oil, any special products, any gold, silver, copper and iron, they are all yours, they are all mine, Xiaoming's.

That was Zhao Liangdong's defensive method when he was guarding Zhaoqing. It could prevent the enemy from digging tunnels and breaking into the city. Of course, that was also my proud move.

Back then, when King Li Jin attacked Xinhui, few small households rose up to respond. Zhou Yu and Li Rong of Panyu led the crowd to revolt and attack the government.

The deep ditch parallel to the city wall in the city has not yet been excavated, and a small number of Qing soldiers patrolled back and forth, waiting in full formation.

By the way, there is no Japanese country yet. Making money from sea trade is too gentle and too troublesome. Take away all the gold and silver, and it will be less uncomfortable to spend.

Xu Erxian laughed and said: "That's what I learned from Xu Xiaoren, who knows how to do everything in his own way. Don't make fun of Xu Xiaoren."

People were sitting or squatting outside the mat tent, but few people had gathered yet. Dried rice mixed with taro and sweet potatoes, and a spoonful of pickle soup with oily stars poured over it were not a delicacy that would satisfy the common people.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, in the surrounding areas centered on Chaozhou Prefecture and Huizhou Prefecture, there were seven groups of pirates known as the "Seven Tigers", and Huang Li was among them.

Zhao Liangdong nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Xu came too late. I will fight side by side with you, both good and bad, to defeat the enemy and make more achievements."

Moreover, we have to dig another hole and attack the city. Considering that there are more and fewer, the difficulty is not that low.

Zhao Liangdong felt relieved and felt that there were enough troops in the city and the enemy was not tightly surrounded. The situation was worse than I thought.

Based on that number, tens of thousands of households are enough to accommodate them. With eight crops a year, seven acres of land is enough to feed one person.

"If no one wants to go." Gu Yanwu, who was hanging around Su Li and enjoying the trip for free, couldn't help but interrupt when he heard those words: "Guangdong and Qiongzhou have similar climates, and it's a matter of whether they have water and soil. Eighty acres of land

, enough for a family to live on!"

"Your Majesty, Qiongzhou is remote and remote. It's the end of the world. I'm afraid..." You Yunlong reminded without any worry.

Shang Kexi's younger son Shang Zhixin, like Wu Yingxiong, stayed in the capital as a hostage. Shang Zhixiao was the second son and was deeply favored by Shang Kexi.

Su Li secretly felt cruel. He was so angry that he finally had no chance to pack up his big book. He became impulsive when he thought about it. Oh, he was excited.

Hainan Island is not only a treasure land that has not been fully developed, but also an important coastal defense area. To expand to the Southeast Asia, it is also necessary to build a base for later expansion.

It has been a long time since Zhao Liangdong entered the city, and generals such as Xu Erxian and Xu Chenggong joined me on patrol.

Xu Jie laughed, her eyes shining, and said: "Hainan Island has beautiful scenery. There is no beach or small sea. Eating seafood, drinking coconut juice, and blowing the sea breeze. Isn't there a more beautiful enjoyment in the sky than that?"

Bikini beauties, aren’t you? If you build a palace, it can be regarded as a resort. When it’s hot in Beijing, it’s so cool to take your wife and children to stay for a while!
