At that time, it took a month to walk normally from Beijing to Guangzhou, and it took at least half a month for the big news of the death of the Son of Heaven to spread all over the country. But Shunzhi died on the sixth day of the first month, considering that the national funeral was to be held, the Lantern Festival was not allowed to pass, so the Qing court sent 800 miles to send news to all parts of the country, prohibiting the Lantern Festival in various places.

At this time, don't talk about Guangzhou, even Yunnan and Guangxi have already received the news of the death of the Son of Heaven.

The situation has changed, whether to fight or not to fight?

"Ready to fly!" Wang Xinyu only has these eight words!

It's been so long since you've been preparing for so long, so don't give up at this time!

"Yes, the Tartar Emperor is dead, and we can't say anything if we don't give them some salutes!" Cai Dezhong said with a smile.

Since the Qing court cannot celebrate the Lantern Festival, then the Qing army does not have the problem of relaxing its vigilance because of the festival, so the plan of action may have to change greatly.

Wang Xinyu asked the messenger who came to report the news: "Your heaven and earth will not change the plan we agreed on on the 14th at the mouth of the Pearl River, right?" ”

"According to the original plan, we will go to the Pearl River Estuary on the 14th." The messenger replied.

Wang Xinyu said: "Since this is the case, then we will act according to the original time, set off on the 12th, and go to the Pearl River Estuary to meet in the early morning of the 14th!" As for the plan to attack the outer forts, we can only postpone it, and wait until the 14th, when we arrive at the mouth of the Pearl River, and after meeting with your men, we will agree on the time, which may have to be postponed until the evening of the 16th, or it may have to be postponed until the 17th, and the specific matters can only be discussed at the mouth of the Pearl River. ”

Because the situation changes a lot. The timetable that had been set out was no longer usable. Wang Xinyu asked the messenger to immediately take a fast boat back to inform the Heaven and Earth Society that they would meet at the mouth of the Pearl River according to the established plan. However, the exact timing of the action will be discussed separately.

All had a full day off. The next morning, a huge fleet of 40 British warships, 8 Spanish galleons, 2 Dutch Galen ships, 8 Dafu ships, 11 Haicang ships, 16 Cangshan ships, and 12 Centipede clippers pulled anchor from the Haikou wharf in Qiongzhou and set sail for the mouth of the Pearl River.

The fleet has more than 13,000 officers and men of the Nanyang Navy and the Zheng Army Naval Division, more than 5,000 officers and men of the Nanyang Army and the Zheng Army and the Zheng Army and the Army Division, more than 300 special combat teams, and more than 200 Tiandihui special forces.

After a long voyage of almost forty hours. The flotilla arrived at the Pearl River Estuary late at night on the 13th.

The Chuanshan Islands are located at the mouth of the Pearl River, which was originally the territory of Guangdong pirates. Since Zheng Zhilong wiped out the Chaogang Gang, some of the remaining Chaogang pirates have temporarily gone into hiding. Later, he followed Wu Liuqi to the Qing court; There were also some pirates who were unwilling to defect to the Qing court, so they were exiled to the Chuanshan Islands. In real history, after the Ming Zheng group was exterminated by Shi Lang, some of the descendants of the Zheng family army went to the Chuanshan Islands. They were united with the Cantonese pirates who were unwilling to surrender to the Qing court. The largest pirate force of the Qing Dynasty was formed.

The Chinese pirates in the Caribbean in the movie are based on Zheng Jian's descendants Zheng Qi and Zheng Yi, as well as Zheng Yi's sister-in-law, Zhang Baozai and other pirates.

No descendants of Zheng Jiajun have joined the Chuanshan Islands, and the remnants of the Cantonese pirates on the islands are overseas remnants of half-fishermen and half-pirates. Just half a month ago, Albert took advantage of the Spring Festival to send troops to land on the Chuanshan Islands, raided the pirate's lair, and absorbed the pirates here.

The combat effectiveness of these pirates is not worth mentioning. The Nanyang Army attacked again and defeated the pirates with zero casualties. In addition to the fact that several recalcitrant pirate leaders were killed. The rest of the pirates surrendered.

Now the Chuanshan Islands have also become Wang Xinyu's territory and become a fortress stuck in the mouth of the Pearl River. A group of clippers were arranged here, which were specially used as a base for the Guangdong Tiandi Association to contact Zheng Jiajun.

The fleet docked at the pier on Shangchuan Island, and Zheng Jian led the Ming sergeants to meet them.

Seeing Wang Xinyu get down from the boat with his own soldiers, Zheng Jian knelt down and said, "I have seen the chief soldier!" ”

"Get up!" Wang Xinyu said.

Zheng Jian attracted a middle-aged man dressed as a monk to introduce Wang Xinyu: "This is Qian Mo, but he is a loyal martyr!" His brother-in-law is the young hero Xia Wanchun! ”

"Xia Wanchun's brother-in-law! It's also a hero! Admire! Admire! Wang Xinyu hurriedly bowed.

Qian Mo replied: "General Wang's efforts to turn the tide in times of crisis are really admirable! Originally, the lowly post had already been disheartened, escaped into the empty door, and heard his friend Shen Yuxiao say that the world would recruit troops, so the lowly post went out of the mountain to join the Heaven and Earth Society, and was only willing to do a little bit to restore my Daming. ”

Walking into the Shangchuan Island meeting hall, the group sat down according to the size of their official positions.

The council hall was originally a gathering hall for pirates.

After everyone sat down, Wang Xinyu asked, "General Zheng, how is the situation of those pirate captives?" ”

Zheng Jian replied: "Lord Hui, those prisoners are quite honest. We will be held for a while, and some of the captives can be selected to join our sailors, and some that cannot be used can be sent to Luzon. ”

"Excellent! These pirates are good sailors as long as they are trained. Wang Xinyu smiled and nodded.

In the early hours of the morning, people sent by the Heaven and Earth Society also came to Kamikawa Island.

Although the Qing court had a sea ban, it was difficult for the agents of the Heaven and Earth Society. The Pearl River estuary was covered with a network of small rivers as dense as spider webs, and it was impossible for the Qing army to block all the small river estuaries at all, and the people of the Tiandihui acted at night, rowing small boats out to sea, and were soon picked up by the big ships of the Nanyang Navy.

After the people from the Heaven and Earth Society came, they reported a situation: "The Tartars have strengthened their vigilance in the past few days, and according to our internal information, Hong Chengchou, a Tatar executive, has been named the Seven Provinces and will arrive in Guangzhou next month. The old thief is already on his way! ”

"The old thief is already on his way?" Qian Mo stood up angrily, "Lord Wang, please let the humble lead someone to kill that old thief!" His father, as well as his brother-in-law's family, were killed by this old thief! Please allow your subordinates to take revenge! ”

Shen Yuxiao also stood up and roared angrily: "That old thief still dares to come to Guangdong!" This time he must be called to have no return! Kill the old thief and avenge the Cungu family! ”

There was a roar in the council hall for a while, and everyone shouted to kill Hong Chengchou.

"Everyone, be quiet!" Wang Xinyu made a gesture to make everyone quiet, "Everyone! What General Ben hates the most is the Erchen traitor! Wang has always felt that those traitors and ministers are better than real Tartars! As the saying goes, the northerners ride horses and the southerners sail boats, if there are no traitors and ministers, can those Tartars still be arrogant when they come to the mountainous terrain of the southern river network? Is it possible? Don't say Gangnam! They don't even think about crossing the Huai River! It is precisely because of those dog thieves who have forgotten their ancestors that we have lost the great rivers and mountains! I, Wang, swore that as long as I ran into a traitor, I would kill him, and I would not leave a single one! ”

"Well said!" Shen Yuxiao yelled, "Without those guys who have forgotten their ancestors, Jiangnan will not be lost, and the ancient will not die!" When poor Cungu was martyred, he was only sixteen years old! ”

Thinking of Xia Wanchun, Qian Mo and the group of people from Jiangnan burst into tears.

"Everyone!" Wang Xinyu felt that his eyes were also a little red, "I want to kill Old Thief Hong more than anyone else!" But I don't agree with everyone going to intercept and kill on the way! That old thief is the Seven Provinces of Tartar, and there are many guards around him, you went, didn't you go to death in vain? I don't agree with you going to die for nothing! ”

Wang Xinyu didn't think that the assassination of Hong Chengchou could succeed, since Hong Chengchou was the Qing court's Seven Provinces Strategy, then there must be no shortage of masters in the guards around him, and a few masters of the Heaven and Earth Society went to him to settle accounts, which was no different from suicide.

"If you can kill the old thief Hong, even if you die, it's worth it!" Qian Mo wiped a handful of tears.

"But what if you can't kill him? Didn't you lose a life in vain? No one of us here is allowed to die! We all have to live! You want to see us revive the Ming with your own eyes! As for the old thief Hong, General Ben swore to heaven that since he came to Guangzhou, he would definitely let him get the punishment he deserved! Wang Xinyu said loudly.

Thinking that someone in later generations actually established the Hong Chengchou Memorial Hall, a place that even his own family was dirty, and turned into a patriotic education base, Wang Xinyu was particularly popular. For that kind of traitor, he must be executed in the most cruel way, and he must stand a kneeling statue so that he will always kneel in front of Xia Wanchun!

Cai Dezhong stood up and arched his hand: "My lord, since we have temporarily spared the life of Hong Chengchou's old thief, we should go and eliminate the Tartar sailor as soon as possible!" ”

"That's right! Troops now! Destroy the Tartar sailors! The crowd proposed.

Wang Xinyu was not carried away by hatred, but said calmly: "Since the Tartars have strengthened their vigilance, we just went in recklessly, didn't we send them to death in vain?" ”

"Are we just wasting our time here?" Zheng Jian asked.

"Sharpening knives is not wrong for woodcutters, we are here waiting for the right opportunity; There is no chance, we can create it! For example, if we deliberately divert the warships, we can use a few ships to attack Chaozhou and attract the attention of the Tartars. According to normal thinking, the Tartars would never have dreamed that we would dare to enter the Pearl River estuary to fight them! As long as we move in a few more places, the opportunity here in the Pearl River Estuary will come. Wang Xinyu said.

The army temporarily settled on Kamikawa Island, waiting for the right opportunity. At the same time, Wang Xinyu ordered the fleet to leave the mouth of the Pearl River, and let the transport fleet with the cooperation of warships, let the mercenary team and the land division look for opportunities to land in various places along the coast of Guangdong, and go ashore to take away the people, creating the false impression that the Ming army was plundering a large number of people in the coastal areas, and at the same time sent two fifth-class ships with six sixth-class ships to Chaozhou to find the Qing army's Chaozhou naval division.

When Zheng Chenggong attacked Chaozhou, the Qing army's Chaozhou Sailor Battalion knew that it was not an opponent and fled to the upper reaches of the Han River in embarrassment. After Zheng Jiajun left, the Qing army's naval division returned downstream. At this time, a sneak attack on the Qing army's Chaozhou Navy Battalion may have a surprising effect.

Moving around along the coast of Guangdong can not only take away a group of people, but also find an opportunity to clean up the green camp and Qing army, and if they are beaten, they will not dare to move.
