The fleet of the Nanyang Navy set out to rescue Dongying, which consisted of two 500-ton fast cruisers and two clippers full of special combat teams, carrying a total of more than 600 Marine Corps special combat personnel, eight small clippers, four hot air balloons, and a large number of mines and other explosives.

This fleet was not so much to save the East as to scare the Dutch and to cheer up the Japanese people. As long as they can entangle the Dutch fleet, use the night attack of the marines, destroy a few Dutch boats, and then launch the Japanese samurai, carry mines and drive small boats to launch suicide attacks, they will definitely be able to drag the Dutch.

Just four ships, more than a thousand people, can scare away the Dutch, this is not a joke, but the Dutch can't afford to delay, and after a long time they don't get what they want, the Dutch can only lower the conditions, and go back to Europe after the point of supply, after all, the European battlefield is the focus.

In fact, it is impossible for Wang Xinyu to invest too many troops elsewhere, and he is now concentrating on taking Guangdong first. As long as you get Guangdong, the next step is to start the Northern Expedition.

In addition, news came from the battlefield in Guangdong that the Ming army completely controlled all the territory near Chaozhou and began to advance towards Huizhou. Shang Zhixin sent an envoy to negotiate with Li Rui and them to sacrifice the city of Guangzhou. In addition, the agents in western Guangdong received news that the Qing army in Guangxi had entered the territory of Guangdong.

"It seems that this domain has to go back to Guangdong, and the affairs of Dongfan will be handed over to you!" Wang Xinyu explained to Song Yingxing and others, and handed over Dongfan to them to manage.

Song Yingxing arched his hand and said loudly: "Please rest assured!" As long as the old man is here, he will definitely be able to provide the soldiers in front of him with much-needed weapons and ammunition in time! ”

"Mr. Song is working too hard!" Wang Xinyu looked at Song Yingxing, who was full of gray hair, and saw that the skin on his face had become drier again, the wrinkles were deeper, and his hair and beard had become completely white, "The old gentleman still has to cultivate a newcomer, so that the old gentleman can enjoy his old age in peace, and he doesn't have to work so hard anymore!" ”

The supreme chief executive of Dongfan is the governor, but according to Wang Xinyu's point of view, those who can be qualified as the governor of Taiwan must also know about science and technology, so there is no one else who can be qualified as the governor of Taiwan except Fang Yizhi. And Fang Yizhi is reluctant to leave Jiangnan, not because Fang Yizhi wants to enjoy himself in Jiangnan, but because Jiangnan is confronting the Qing army, and it is also a forward position, Fang Yizhi does not want to go to the safe rear.

In fact, Fang Yizhi also made a lot of contributions, he supervised the construction of many cities and fortresses in the south of the Yangtze River, and changed every large farm into a large fortress.

The Ming army fought for many years and captured a lot of firearms such as bird guns from the Qing army, although these firearms have fallen behind, but they are still good for defending the city. Fang Yizhi distributed weapons such as bird guns, bowl guns, and tiger squat cannons, and armed the tenant farmers in Jiangnan to build castles.

The larger villages were built into castles, with trenches dug outside, walls laid inside, and four fortresses built, and whenever the Qing army attacked, they would be broken under the castle.

Although the Qing army was unable to recapture Jiangnan, Yue Le was unwilling to let the common people under the control of the Ming court produce in Jiangnan in peace, and often sent small cavalry to harass them, or sent small groups of infantry from nearby cities to harass Jiangnan farms. Every time the farmers were busy with farming, they were about to go to work in the fields when they heard that the Qing army was coming.

Harassed and attacked by the Qing army, Huzhou, Jiaxing, Suzhou and other places bordering the Qing army could not harvest grain at all, and the farmland was basically barren. Fortunately, because of the existence of the fortress, the Qing army could not slaughter many ordinary people, so they could only look at the strong fortress and sigh, and did not dare to stay under the fortress for a long time, because the Ming army with a strong sailor could come to the rescue at any time.

After several battles, Fang Yizhi also went to the frontline battlefield many times to command, and expelled the Qing army's harassing troops many times.

So now the position of governor of Taiwan has been vacant, in fact, Song Yingxing is also the governor of Taiwan.

Song Yingxing sighed: "The old man also understands that the old man is only worried that after a hundred years, the old man will have no successor!" The old man thinks that after a hundred years of the old man, Dai Cang can replace the old man. ”

"It's good!" Wang Xinyu nodded, "Let Dai Cang take the position of vice president of the Academy of Sciences first." ”

Wang Xinyu left Dongfan and took a catamaran clipper, but he did not go to Chaozhou, but went straight to Shangchuan Island, where the Ming army and marines gathered.

The catamaran sailed for a day and a night and arrived at Kamikawa Island.

Shangchuan Island has become a huge barracks, with hundreds of large and small ships moored in the island's waters, and ships are constantly coming to the docks to unload military supplies. The wharf was piled up with piles of military supplies, and the auxiliaries and civilians seemed to be busy with their lives, and there were people working day and night, on land and sea. After nightfall, bonfires were lit on the docks, and auxiliaries and civilians busily unloaded boxes of supplies from the ships and loaded weapons and ammunition onto the ships.

In fact, the Ming army with a strong naval division, compared with the Qing army with a large number of cavalry, the Qing army could run if it did not want to fight, but the Ming army with a naval division could fight wherever it wanted.

More than 5,000 marines who have just returned from Nanyang are gathered on the island, plus the 3,000 officers and men of the Marine Division who were previously transferred from Fujian, and the 5,000 officers and men who have just been trained from Qiongzhou Island, there are already more than 13,000 soldiers on the island.

More than 5,000 Marines were veterans who had fought the Dutch not long ago; The soldiers transferred from Fujian were also the elite soldiers of a hundred battles after the battle against Zhangzhou. Only the 5,000 men and horses transferred from Qiongzhou Island are recruits, but these recruits are all Miao Li people, who have undergone the strictest and most cruel training, and in their eyes, the instructors are more cruel than the enemy.

The Miaoli people on Qiongzhou Island were given their own land, believing that without the Qiongzhou army, they would have been poor people struggling on the poverty line all their lives. Now that their families have been given the land, they must fight hard to prevent their land from being taken back by the Manchu rulers.

The most brutal training, coupled with brainwashing, made these recruits become veterans whenever they saw blood. In the battle, the casualties of their comrades around them will not bring them fear of the enemy, but will provoke a deeper hatred of the enemy, everyone will become crazy, they can be crazy to the point that when the enemy's knife is cut down, they will not dodge, but cut back, and fight their own lives to die with the enemy. When the enemy's cavalry rushes over, they will not dodge, but they will meet it with their spears, and even if they are killed by their horses and hacked to death by their sabers, they will stab the enemy off their horses!

What's even more terrifying is that these soldiers not only have their beliefs, but they are also mercenaries, fighting for money. They are killed, their names can enter the monument, and their families can live a better life.

In their eyes, there is no concept of defeat, everyone has a glorious bullet on their body, and when they can't beat it, they detonate it in the enemy group.

Originally, these Miao Li soldiers were to be trained as mountain soldiers, but now that the establishment of mountain soldiers is saturated, these people are trained as ordinary infantry and are trained as the most elite madman troops.

The commander of this army was Jiang Zhiping, who had been promoted to the commander of the Yongxin Army, and since Jiang Zhiping brought out the famous Yongxin Army, this army, which was active in the hinterland of the Qing army in Jiangxi, caused trouble for the Qing army many times. Later, the Ming army entered Fujian from Xianxia Pass, and Jiang Zhiping received the order and led a part of the Yongxin Army to Xianxia Pass to meet the special combat team.

The current Jiang Zhiping, who used the veterans of the Yongxin Army to come but the backbone force, went to Qiongzhou and spent more than a year training an elite unit.

At present, the Yongxin Army is divided into two groups, one is the old Yongxin Army that is still active in the Jinggangshan area, and the other is the Xinyong New Army that came to Shangchuan Island.

A total of more than 13,000 soldiers had been waiting for a long time on Shangchuan Island, and after the officers and men arrived on Shangchuan Island, they repaired here and waited for the order to attack. However, because the Dutch fleet came to the waters of Guangdong, the officers and men on the island could only continue to stand by here. After holding it for so long, the officers and men had already held their breath and were waiting for a good fight.

These troops on Kamikawa Island were not only well-equipped and had a tenacious will to fight, but their morale was also extremely high.

Wang Xinyu walked into the big tent of the Chinese army, looked around for a while, and then said: "Everyone, this clan arranged you on this island just to attack Xinhui!" Xinhui is the retreat of Guangzhou Tatars, and it is also the only way for Guangxi Tatars to come to support Guangdong Tatars! We have to win the new meeting, do you have confidence? ”

"Yes!" All the generals roared in unison.

"Li Dingguo was defeated in Xinhui back then, because he was too merciful! Now that we are going to fight against the Tartars, we must not be too soft-hearted and not have the kindness of a woman! Our knives can only be sharpened faster than the Tartars, and only in this way can the common people of Xinhui not help the Tartars! Wang Xinyu looked around and said.

Fang Chonggong, who was in charge of intelligence work, stepped forward and said: "Marshal, I got the news that the so-called famous general of the Tartars, You Yunlong, was not in Xinhui and was transferred to Guangzhou City by the Tartars. ”

Wang Xinyu sneered: "What can you do even if Yunlong is in the Xinhui?" Ben Fan wished he was in Xinhui, so that he could kill him and avenge so many people who died in Xinhui! Since he is in Guangzhou, let him live a few more days! ”

The place where the Ming army on Shangchuan Island was preparing to land was in Xiangshan County, and Yao Qisheng, the commander of Xiangshan County, had promised to do it anyway.

Wang Xinyu's people had secretly contacted Yao Qisheng before, and when he learned that the Xiangshan County Commander was actually Yao Qisheng, he gave Yao Qisheng a very generous bargaining chip and was willing to give him the post of governor of Guangdong!

Yao Qisheng himself was not a corrupt Confucian, and he was not really loyal to the Qing court, but only to protect the Han people to carry the flag and become an official, and when he was an official, he was dismissed by the imperial court many times for the Han people. So Wang Xinyu sent someone to contact Yao Qisheng, and Yao Qisheng agreed to come down and was willing to cooperate with the Ming army to win Xinhui.

In the nineteenth year of Yongli, the fourth year of Kangxi, 1665 AD, on the twentieth day of April of the Gregorian calendar, the sixth day of the third month of the lunar calendar, the weather in Guangdong had turned hot, and on this day, the Ming army began the landing operation.

Wang Xinyu did not send out all the more than 10,000 troops with great fanfare, but first sent 3,000 vanguard troops to Xiangshan County by boat to land. After the fleet of the vanguard arrived at the wharf of Xiangshan County, Xiangshan County ordered Yao Qisheng to open the city gate to welcome the Ming army into the city, and the green flag of the Qing army was lowered in Xiangshan County, and the red flag of the Ming army was hung up.

Wang Xinyu followed the second group of troops and landed in Xiangshan County.

Yao Qisheng took a group of fast catchers, government officials, white servants, Minzhuang and agents of the Heaven and Earth Society in Xiangshan County to stand at the gate of the city to greet the Ming army.

Wang Xinyu walked all the way and found that there were no local gentry in the welcoming crowd, not because the Xiangshan gentry hated the Ming army, but because there were no gentry in Xiangshan County back then, and the only few rich people were still agents of the Heaven and Earth Society. This is because of the Qing court's order to move to the sea, Xiangshan is too close to the sea, and many farmlands are not allowed to be cultivated by the Qing court, because it is close to the sea and within the boundaries of the sea relocation.

After the previous Xiangshan County Commanders of the Qing court came to Xiangshan, not only could they not scrape a piece of copper land, but owed a large amount of taxes to the imperial court, because Xiangshan was too poor to scrape oil and water at all, and there was no future for being an official here.

It is also ridiculous to say, facing the sea, Macao is on the edge, and there is fertile land, but it is so poor, it is all caused by the Qing court's ban on the sea and the relocation of the sea.

It was only after Yao Qisheng came that he secretly opened the sea ban, which made the life of the local people better, and also made Xiangshan County pay the taxes owed over the years, and the former county orders who were imprisoned were released.

After the sea ban was opened, there were naturally businessmen who made a fortune, but most of the businessmen who made a fortune were agents of the Heaven and Earth Society, such as Fang De and others.

Seeing a person wearing a seven-grade official uniform of the Qing court from a distance, Wang Xinyu knew that the tunnel was Yao Qisheng, and hurriedly turned over and dismounted, stepped forward with an arrow, and bowed his hand to Yao Qisheng.

Yao Qisheng saw a general in the team in white armor and riding a white horse suddenly turned over and dismounted, walked in front of him and saluted, he was stunned for a moment, he hadn't figured out the identity of this person yet, but he looked extraordinary, dressed like a general with status, so he reflexively knelt on one knee and saluted with fists: "Sinner Yao Qisheng has seen the general!" ”

"Hurry up, please!" Wang Xinyu helped Yao Qisheng up. This time, I finally saw the legendary Yao Qisheng, and I saw that although this person was a civil official, he was tall and strong, and the muscles on his body were bulging, and he looked like a person who had practiced martial arts.

There was a humane on the side: "This is our Donghai County King, Wang Yu, the general of Pingyu!" ”

Yao Qisheng was taken aback, and hurriedly wanted to kneel down again, but was tightly pulled by Wang Xinyu: "Mr. Yao doesn't have to be polite!" Today, I want to see Mr. Yao! Come! Set up a banquet in the big tent of the Chinese army! Today, this clan wants to have a banquet for Mr. Yao! ”

"The sinner is a mere seven-grade county order, but thanks to the great handsome's love, the sinner really can't figure it out." Yao Qisheng said with a sigh.

Wang Xinyu laughed: "Mr. Yao is the dragon and phoenix among people!" It's a pity that the Tartars are not good at employing people! (To be continued.) )
