The huge fleet of ships flying the flag of the Daming Navy Division passed through the mouth of the Pearl River. In the wide mouth of the Pearl River, you can also see the large and small warships of the Qing army's naval division huddled inside. Wu Liuqi, the commander of the Guangdong Navy Division of the Qing Army, was like a turtle with a shrunken head, and he didn't dare to send a boat to intercept it.

The Qing army did not dare to come out, and the Ming army sailors did not dare to enter the mouth of the Pearl River.

In the mouth of the Pearl River, hidden piles were laid in the river, and the locks were pulled up, and the Ming army fleet was not familiar with the hydrological conditions in the Pearl River channel, so they did not dare to rashly enter and launch an attack.

Wang Xinyu looked at the banner of the Qing Army's Green Camp Water Division, and said to himself indignantly: "Let you be arrogant for a few days!" Be kind and let you have a good year! When everything is clear, labor and management promise to go in and destroy you Tartars! ”

There are many islands in the mouth of the Pearl River, and most of them are not islands controlled by the Qing court. The vast majority of the islands are uninhabited, and some of the larger islands were originally inhabited by pirates, but now with the ban on the sea, the pirates have nothing to rob, and most of the pirates have changed their careers, planting some land on the islands, and going out to sea to catch some fish. If you see a single Western ship with a small tonnage and poor firepower, or a ship from Japan and North Korea, take the sheep and grab it. In fact, the Qing court's control over the coastal islands was very weak, which made the coastal islands of Guangdong a paradise for pirates.

Wang Xinyu is in a hurry to go back for the New Year now, and he doesn't have the heart to collect all these pirates for the time being, and after the New Year, let's slowly clean up these pirates. However, these pirates were also very cunning, and when pirates who were still older than them came to land, they hid and could not find anyone, and when the enemy left, the pirates appeared again.

From the mouth of the Pearl River to Xiamen, it took about two days and two nights to sail at the speed of the ship that year, and Wang Xinyu could just rush back for the New Year.

Leizhou Peninsula, there are not many green battalions here, the green battalions of Leizhou and Qiongzhou are collectively called Lei Qiong General Soldiers, and Lei Qiong General Soldiers are Gao Jinku, who was executed by Wang Xinyu. The Qing army of the Lei Qiong Green Battalion has been wiped out on Qiongzhou Island, and at this time, on the huge Leizhou Peninsula, there are only some fast catchers, government servants, and regimental training in various counties, and native soldiers, and the Qing court has basically lost the ability to control the Leizhou Peninsula.

The Gaozhou Green Battalion in the north of the peninsula will not be here for the time being, and Shang Kexi does not know that Qiongzhou has been conquered, and his subordinate Gao Jinku was killed. Seeing that the New Year is coming, the Qing soldiers also have to take a holiday to prepare for the New Year.

A little north of Leizhou City, the bay where today's Zhanjiang City is located, is a natural harbor, where the wind and waves are calm, the sea is deep, and large sea ships can enter the harbor. It's just that at this time, the bay has not yet been developed, and the surrounding areas are all wasteland, coupled with the sea ban of the Qing court, and the surrounding fishing villages have all been abandoned.

In a small village fifteen miles from the sea, a tall, bearded man is loudly promoting the benefits of going to Qiongzhou Island to the villagers: "Folks! It's about to be the New Year! But you can't even eat enough to eat, and you have to be called for rent and debts, not to mention whether you can have a good year, and even whether you can survive is a problem! Now we, the Qiongzhou Mansion, invite you to cross the sea to the other side! When we get there, we're going to let you have a good year first! After the New Year, you can have your own land; If you don't know how to farm, we can still send you fishing boats! No one will force you to pay rent, and no one will ask you for your debts! Your harvest is at your disposal, except for a few taxes! ”

The one who speaks is from heaven and earth.

The Green Battalion has a holiday, but the Heaven and Earth Society has no holiday, and they want to take advantage of this opportunity to carry out large-scale activities and immigrate more people to Qiongzhou Island. In fact, Qiongzhou Island was the first stronghold, because it was close to the mainland, so the people first escaped from the clutches of the Qing court, temporarily settled in Qiongzhou, and then slowly moved to other islands in the South Sea.

Because of the effect of the sea ban, a large number of fishermen are no longer happy, and this is the most effective time to come out and encourage the fishermen who were forced by the Qing court to move from the sea to the interior. After a while, after the Qing court issued the order to move the sea, it would have to move to a place of 30 to 50 miles, and at that time, because it was far from the sea, it was not easy to transfer the people.

Although the things said by the people of the Heaven and Earth Society sounded very good, the villagers were hesitant.

Someone whispered below: "It's the Qing Dynasty now, but looking at their appearance, it seems that they are people from the previous dynasty." ”

Another villager said: "The former dynasty has died, and the remnants of the former dynasty have been designated as a puppet dynasty by the current imperial court, and they are a group of rebels. We followed, and if the imperial court recovers Qiongzhou in the future, we will lose our heads! ”

"Yes! No matter how good the conditions are, don't go! To go is to die. ”

"That's right! In fact, are they as good as they say? Who knows! If you go there, you have to risk killing your head. ”

But at this time, an old man with gray hair who seemed to have a lot of prestige in the village stood up and raised his voice and said to the villagers: "Everyone, we can't survive here!" Because of the sea ban of the imperial court, we all have nothing, and sooner or later we will starve to death! Instead of starving, believe them and come with them! ”

"That's it! Even if they lied to us, it doesn't matter where we die! Anyway, sooner or later, it's a death, it's better to fight and see, maybe you'll survive! Another villager shouted.

"That's right! Big deal, die! How many people have died because of the ban on the sea! ”

"Gone! Let's pack up our things and go with them! "More and more villagers are coming forward and saying they are willing to go.

In the end, the whole village agreed to follow.

The villagers simply packed up their furniture and set off with the people of the Heaven and Earth Society. In fact, they didn't have anything to clean up, originally they were all fishermen who were forcibly relocated from a seaside fishing village by the Qing court. At that time, the Qing army was in a hurry, and when they were forced to move here, they didn't bring anything with them. When I got here, I didn't have my own fields, not even farm tools, and I was surrounded by four walls. This simple piece of furniture, each family carried one piece and took it away.

More than 100 villagers came to the beach, but they saw that the beach was full of black heads, at least five or six hundred people.

On the avenue by the beach, there stood a group of Hongyi people wearing red uniforms and iron armor. Although these Hongyi people look very intimidating, they seem to be very friendly, at least much better than the wolf-like Qing soldiers.

There were about 200 Hongyi soldiers, and they seemed to be very kind to the villagers. However, there are more than a dozen Ming soldiers, it doesn't seem so polite, as long as someone cuts in the queue indiscriminately, or is not in order, the Ming army will come forward and yell, and those who don't listen to the warning will raise their hands and whip them over.

"Don't panic, everyone! Wait patiently here, and the ship will come in a moment! "A Hongyi man maintains order in stiff Chinese.

The five or six hundred people who came to the beach were all preparing to go to sea to Qiongzhou. And on the avenue behind, more people are coming to the beach one after another.

"The officers and soldiers are coming!" At this time, I suddenly heard someone screaming on the avenue.

The people of the Heaven and Earth Society shouted: "The Tartars are coming!" Let's go! ”

More than a dozen strong men of the Heaven and Earth Society immediately rushed towards the Great Dao with those Hongyi people wearing red clothes and plate armor.

On the official road, the villagers of a village are running to the beach. More than a dozen officials from a hundred paces behind chased and killed, and more than a hundred vicious Green Battalion Qing soldiers were brandishing butcher knives and rushing towards the panicked villagers.

The reason for the incident was that when the Heaven and Earth Society was active on the Leizhou Peninsula, there was a guy who dreamed of making a fortune and went to the Qing court to tell the secret, saying that a group of villagers were Tonghaikou.

The case of hundreds of people going to the sea, this is a big case! The local magistrate couldn't sit still, so he immediately sent officials to arrest him, and contacted the Qing army stationed in the local green camp and the local powerful family, and temporarily organized a rabble of more than 100 people to kill the beach, preparing to arrest the villagers who tried to flee overseas.

"Array!" Wang Defeng roared.

A hundred halberders were behind, and a hundred musketeers lined up in front, lined up in formation, waiting for the soldiers to be cleared.

Those Qing soldiers were all rabble, and when they heard that there was a major case of opening the sea, they all came to cut off people's heads and prepare to receive rewards. Seeing that someone was blocking the way in front of them, the Qing soldiers who were anxious to receive the reward didn't know what was going on, so they rushed up without a head.

"Put!" The sword in Wang Defeng's hand pointed forward.

Thirty-four flintlock musketeers in the front row pulled the trigger, and the muskets erupted in a puff of white smoke.

The flintlock pistol burst out with a deafening sound of gunfire, and the dense projectiles drilled into the crowd of Qing soldiers who rushed over, raising a dazzling blood mist, and in an instant, more than a dozen Qing soldiers fell down screaming.

The thirty-four flintlock musketeers in the front row immediately retreated behind the halberders and loaded their gunpowder and bullets. Thirty-two flintlock musketeers in the second row raised their guns, and another row of guns rang out, and more than a dozen Qing soldiers were beaten into a sieve.

Before it was the turn of the flintlock musketeers in the third row to shoot, the crowd of Qing troops was already in chaos.

Originally, these Qing soldiers thought that what those Hongyi people had in their hands was just a bird gun, which was not so powerful, and a row of shots could not kill a few people. Who knew that after two rounds of shooting, more than 30 people fell, and the Qing soldiers who were still thinking about cutting off the head and receiving the silver reward just now collapsed all at once.

"Mom!" A soldier screamed and turned to run, seeing his companion in front of him fall, blood mixed with fragments of internal organs, spurting out from bullet holes behind him and splashing on his face.

The formation of the Qing army was chaotic, and the morale of the meritorious service just now disappeared all at once, and the remaining thought was that he wanted to flee for his life as soon as possible, and if he ran late, then he would explain it here! They are here to cut off people's heads and make meritorious contributions, but they are not here to send them to death! If you hit a hard stubble, so many people will die at once, so run.

Run! Run! Run for your life!

The flintlock musketeers in the third row took two steps forward in unison, raised their guns, and pulled the trigger on the back of the fleeing Qing soldiers.

The guns roared, and more than a dozen Qing soldiers with their backs to the mercenaries sprayed a dazzling blood mist on their backs, and one after another fell on the official road like dead dogs.

With Wang Defeng's order, a hundred halberd soldiers lined up in a neat formation to chase and kill.

The halberd soldiers had heavy armor and had to maintain a formation, so the speed of the pursuit naturally could not be too fast. But there are still many people who have fallen behind, who have run badly, and the Qing soldiers who have fallen down were caught up by them, and ruthlessly poked out the blood holes in their bodies with halberds.

Seeing the terrifying heavy armor halberd soldiers chasing slowly, the Qing soldiers who were desperately trying to escape felt relieved, as if they could escape as long as they escaped at a medium speed, and running too fast would cause chaos. So a small officer of the Qing army shouted: "Calm down! Don't mess around! Those Hongyi people are running slowly! They can't catch up with us! ”

Before the words fell, more than a dozen crossbow arrows were shot from the bushes on both sides, nailing more than a dozen Qing soldiers to the ground!

"There's an ambush!" Someone exclaimed.

The Qing army, which was just easy to calm down, collapsed again, spread its legs and ran, only hating his father and mother for not giving him four legs.

In fact, there are not many ambushers, just more than a dozen strong men of the Heaven and Earth Society.

More than a dozen strong men chased after the Qing soldiers, and none of the Qing soldiers dared to turn back and resist. Those who are caught up are either cut off their heads with a knife, or they kneel on the ground and beg for mercy and surrender.

The Heaven and Earth Society chased after it for a while, and killed more than 30 Qing soldiers and captured more than 20 people. Of the more than 100 Qing soldiers who came, only more than 10 escaped.

The strong men of the Tiandi Society held more than 20 prisoners, and when they passed in front of the people, the common people spat on the Qing soldiers and threw stones.

"Dead Tartar!"

"Kill them!"

"Kill these fake Tartars who are fighting for the tiger!"
