Chapter 778 of the main text of Yinxiong in the late Ming Dynasty. The war started again and it took a full stick of incense. Li Er was moved by Zhao Jinxing and hesitated and said, "If there is such a thing, then I will definitely go. Are you sure you didn't lie to me?"

Zhao Jinxing resisted the unhappiness and patiently explained, "It's definitely not convenient for you, so you don't go and inquire. I, Zhao Jinxing, is a scholar after all. Even if I didn't pass the imperial examination, I would still not kneel down when I saw an official. How could I lie? What's more, what can you do if you are a poor mud-legged person?"

He was a little guilty about what he said. Although Tongzhi was willing to guarantee this job, he didn't believe that such good things were happening. If these mud legs went, they would probably do their whole life for others. To put it bluntly, they were "piglet sellers". However, these had nothing to do with him, and it was enough that he could make money.

Li Er was then moved and asked, "Since the master said so, then I'll go, but where can I register?"

"Xiao Liuzi, why don't you take this Brother Li to the business registration point quickly!" Zhao Jinxing directed his nine-year-old son to take Li Er to the registration point.

He also felt relieved. After talking for so long, he finally fooled the slut. His patience was almost wiped out. If it weren't for the 200 cents, he would have planned to change the next one.

After Li Er was taken away by Xiao Liuzi, he continued to persuade the remaining refugee beggars, and in order to make money, he also gave up his identity.

Li Er followed Zhao Jinxing's youngest son and soon arrived at the registration site. This was a business opened by Liaoning Trading in Quanzhou City. When he went south, the fleet brought many shopkeepers and managers of the Trading Trading. After the war, with the assistance of Zou Weilian, who was still the governor of Fujian, he opened shops in various major cities. Although there was not much to sell for the time being, he had gained a firm foothold.

At this time, there were already a team of more than 30 people here. It seemed that there were many people who couldn't survive and wanted to fight. There were seven or eight Ming soldiers around him responsible for maintaining order, and no one was doing anything randomly.

Li Er was also at the end of the line, waiting for the team to move little by little. According to his observation, many people were with their families, and he was the only one alone. With so many people accompanying him, he was less worried.

After almost a stick of incense, he finally got to sit behind the table and acted as a business employee of the bookstore. He stored a piece of paper full of letters, took out another piece of empty paper, looked up at Li Er and asked, "What's your name? Where is the person, how old is this year?"

"The villain is called Li Er, from Hui'an, Quanzhou. It's twenty-three this year."

Xiao Liuzi, who was standing beside him, added to the clerk, "Master, he was recommended by my father Zhao Jinxing."

The bookkeeper responded, then recorded it and gave Xiao Liuzi a certificate with a large seal, which read "Introduction to Quanzhou Hui'an Li Er". Xiao Liuzi also returned to his father's side with the receipt. With this receipt, he would come to collect the money tomorrow morning.

Then, the Book Office handed a wooden sign to Li Er, pointed to the fifty or sixty people next to him and said, "Get this sign, this is your future identity certificate, remember to keep it well. Now go there to gather, and someone will take you to dinner later, and then prepare to board the ship to Taiwan."

Li Er took the wooden sign and did not recognize the words on it, but he still stood beside those people. Looking around, they were all the same as him. You could see at a glance that the poor and destitute people were known to him. He also knew several of them.

Next, the number of people around them gradually began to increase. In less than half an hour, there were nearly a hundred people. Then one of the soldiers told them to follow him, and Li Er followed the soldier and came to a village outside the city.

Here, Li Er felt like he was living in a dream. After entering the village, the manager arranged for them to take a shower, then burned all their old clothes, gave each of them a brand new set of clothes, and then placed in front of them was a large bucket of fragrant white rice, enough for them to eat white rice that was full.

After dinner, the manager gathered everyone together and asked them to do some strange movements. Although it was very simple, it was indeed repeated. Although it was a little tired, he was disqualified when he thought of disobedient. Everyone worked hard.

After three days of life like this, these three days were like heaven for Li Er. He could have enough food every day and didn’t have to be a coolie. He just had to line up according to the command of the manager, shout some slogans, and take some strange steps.

This also made him more convinced that the government’s notice was true, and that the Liaoning business really hired them to reclaim wasteland.

On the fourth day, they were asked to line up in three rows and head to Quanzhou Port under the guidance of the manager. These were the things they had been repeating over the past three days. There was no chaos in the team of more than 500 people.

After walking for more than an hour, they finally arrived at the port. Three large ships had already stopped in the port, so they boarded the three ships according to the instructions of the manager.

After two days of sailing, the ship finally docked, and Li Er also ushered in his new life.

There are many refugee beggars like Li Er who are attracted by the notice and choose to immigrate to Taiwan. They are unable to live a happy life, so they just treat it as a fight. If it is true, there will be a good day in the future. If it is false, at most they will die. Their current life is not much better than death.

On the Taiwan Strait, a large number of ships travel between the coast of Guangdong and Taiwan Island in Fujian every day to transport these immigrants, and Liu Fen's exhibition plan has officially begun to be implemented.

Seeing that the immigration operations were gradually getting on track, Kong Youde was also ready to return to Shandong.

I set off in early September and left Shandong. It has been more than two months since I am now close to the end of the year. It is time to go back.

This southern expedition operation can be said to be a successful end, and even achieved some unexpected results.

The initial goal was to take advantage of the war between Zheng Zhilong and the Dutch to eliminate the unraveled Zheng Zhilong group, so as not to prevent Zheng Zhilong from defeating the Dutch and becoming bigger. The Tiance Army would need to spend a lot of energy to deal with it.

In addition, I originally wanted to reach a deal with senior Fujian officials such as Zou Weilian to facilitate the military and commercial activities of the Tiance Army in the south of the Ming Dynasty, but I didn't want to take them under my command, but I didn't expect that they would take the initiative and surrender directly to themselves. This was an unexpected surprise.

And forming an alliance with the Spaniards is a temporary decision.

On November 6, the vast Tiance fleet set off again and advanced to the north.

In addition to Liu Fen leading the production and construction corps and responsible for the reclamation and exhibition in Taiwan, Xu Wenyi, Li Mingda and the First Fourth Fleet were also left behind.

Their mission is also not easy. These newly controlled territories of the Tiance Army are too far from Shandong. If there were no generals like Xu Wenyi to guard them, Kong Youde would have been very worried.

Now, from Hong Kong Island in the west, from Taiwan Island in the east, and from Pingtan Island in the south to the Ming Dynasty, all of which have fallen under the control of the Tiance Army.

There are many things to do next, including cooperating with Luzon to sweep pirates, transporting immigrants to Taiwan Island and various islands, going to Ryukyu to sweep the forces of the Satsuma vassal state, building various ports, and preventing the counterattack of the East India Company, etc.

In addition, these strongholds also need to be built, not just ports, but also commercial towns.

Xu Wenyi alone might not be too busy, so she kept Li Mingda. Before going south, Li Mingda's fourth fleet was basically constantly training. Whether it was dealing with the remnants of the Later Jin navy, or conquering North Korea or attacking Japan, they had nothing to do. It was time to pull out and practice.

In addition, Li Mingda also means checks and balances, which is something that superiors must be prepared for, even if they trust the same person.

After the fleet set off, it moved northward without stopping. Compared to when it came, the fleet of the Tince Navy did not need to hide its actions, and advanced swaggeringly, and did not have to worry about being seen or sneak attacked, so the time was quite fast.

On November 11, the fleet arrived at the estuary of the Yangtze River. After only replenishing some fresh water, it set off again to head north.

Liu Fen, who was originally stationed in Chongmingsha, now went to Taiwan Island to serve as the commander of the production and construction corps. Now the commander of the Third Division of the Independent Legion was taken over by Lin Zidan, who made great contributions in attacking Relanzha City.

With Kong Youde's expectations and Liu Fen's instructions, he also began the construction of Chongmingsha.

Originally, Liu Fen was in Chongming Sha, but he only recruited landless farmers around him to reclaim land. He did not build much of the port and still used the dilapidated port of Chongming Sha Qianhushou. The main reason was that the strength of the Tiance Army was not enough at that time.

If the port is built, the Ming army in Nanzhili, Zheng Zhilong's navy, or Liu Xiang's pirate fleet will be in vain.

Now the Tiance Army on the coast of the Ming Dynasty is an invincible existence. It can let go of its hands and feet and fight to guard the exit of the Yangtze River, the major shipping artery. In addition, Hong Kong Island, which controls the Pearl River Estuary, as well as strongholds such as Nanao Island, Yuegang, Xiamen Island, and Pingtan Island, can control all the Ming Dynasty's sea trade in the hands of the Tiance Army.

Six days later, Kong Youde returned to Weihaiwei Army Port.

However, as soon as he got off the boat, he saw Cheng Xikong with an anxious look on his face.

According to Kong Youde's arrangement, Cheng Xikong should be stationed in Dengzhou City now. I think something big happened, otherwise he would not have come to Weihaiwei to wait for him.

The Fushan slowly landed. After the springboard was lowered, Kong Youde took the lead and Cheng Xikong came up.

Cheng Xikong said solemnly, "Sir, Jinzhou is in urgent need!"

Kong Youde was also surprised, "What?"

Cheng Xikong explained, "Huang Taiji personally led 50,000 Tartars, plus 70,000 servants, totaling 120,000 troops. He launched a fierce attack on Jinzhou with surrounding forts, and Baiyunlong could no longer hold on."

Kong Youde also calmed down and was in a hurry, which means that Jinzhou is still in Bai Yunlong's hands. Even if the situation is critical, there is still a short chance. "What's the specific situation? Please tell me more details."

Kong Youde was not surprised that Huang Taiji attacked Jinzhou. Since he took office, he has attacked Guanning defense line many times. Jinzhou, as the most prominent link in Guanning defense line, was also what Huang Taiji tried hard to pull it out.

In fact, the Later Jin attacked Jinzhou many times.

From the beginning of Huang Taiji's rise to power, he launched an attack on Jinzhou and Ningyuan, that is, the battle of Ningjin. He besieged Jinzhou for nearly a month and did not achieve any decent results. In addition, Mao Wenlong had the intention of sneaking attack on Chenyang, Huang Taiji finally withdrew his troops.

Later, he attacked Jinzhou several times, but the scale was not large. In the Battle of Daling River two years ago, Huang Taiji personally led an army of 50,000 to attack Daling River. After three extra fierce battles, the city was exhausted. Huang Taiji persuaded Zu Dashou to surrender, trying to get him back to Jinzhou to open the door and let the army enter the city. However, Zu Dashou did not fulfill his promise, and Huang Taiji failed to take Jinzhou.

Last year, while the Tiance army crossed the sea and attacked Shanhaiguan, Huang Taiji, who learned the news, personally led a 100,000 army to launch an attack on Jinzhou. As a result, because the Tiance army crossed the Haid 6 fishing port, Huang Taiji sent his son Haoge and nephew Yuetuo to attack the Tiance army, but was defeated by the Tiance army in a battle. Haoge was captured and Yuetuo was killed. Less than 10% of the 20,000 troops fled back. Under the chaos of the army, Huang Taiji had to shrink his defense line. After another half a month of support, he had no choice but to retreat.

Now that the Tiance Army has entered Jinzhou, and with the crushing defeat in the battle of the fishing port, as long as Huang Taiji is not a fool, he will definitely remove the Jinzhou stronghold, and when he leads his army south, it is the best opportunity.

Then, Cheng Xikong told Kong Youde everything he had happened during this period and some of his own guesses.

It turned out that, as speculated, when Kong Youde had just led the main navy to set off south, intelligence personnel lurking in Shenyang and Liaoyang appeared, and the Tartars began to gather troops and prepare for food and grass, and it seemed that there was a large-scale military operation.

But this time the Tartars did a pretty good job of keeping confidentiality. Apart from knowing that there were large-scale military operations, they couldn't figure out where their target was. However, with such a large operation, the target was easy to guess.

There are now four directions for the Tartars to use troops, including Jinzhou in the west, Yalu River in the south, Yehe Legion in the northeast, Khalkha Mongol in the northwest, and Aohan and Zarut, two Mongolian tribes that surrendered to the Tiance Army.
