Chapter 16 The wanderer returns, his homeland is here

 Even if Zu Zeqing wanted to continue to muddle through, the Ming army only followed along the main road and did not divide the troops to plunder. The news still leaked.

Zu Zeqing's troops were turned away by the Enping defenders and had no choice but to attack the city. Although the city was captured, the defenders also sent couriers to rush along the way and issue warnings.

In his own territory of Gaolei and Lianzhou, Zu Zeqing could still do his best to cover up, but when entering Zhaoqing Mansion, it was difficult. This was also related to Shang Kexi's arrangement, which had already strengthened Zhaoqing Mansion's alert.

Having been exposed, Zu Zeqing notified the Ming army behind him while spreading all kinds of news, and continued to advance eastward to attack Kaiping, the only small town west of Xinhui.

The Ming Army brigade then followed up, showing off their minions and no longer covering up. Several cavalry groups raided the villages and towns, posted notices, and spread the news.

When Huang Li received the information, he was already only a few dozen miles away from Tieshan Port. Although the stealth attack was over, it was not unexpected.

Moreover, he hoped to gather more Qing troops in Xinhui so that he could defeat the main force of the Qing troops in Guangdong in one battle. Therefore, he was not in a hurry to return. After writing a letter to the frontline generals, he continued to advance towards Tieshan Port.<

/p>

The warning message was sent to Xinhui as quickly as possible, and the guard Yunlong sent someone to rush it to Guangzhou and presented it to Shang Kexi.

"What a courageous dog!" Shang Kexi was furious and surprised. He didn't understand that Zu Zeqing had taken the wrong medicine. He dared to rebel and march to Guangzhou just because of his tens of thousands of green soldiers.

This was not because he was careless, but according to common sense, he had been waiting for news about the battle situation in Guangxi. When there was no news, he took it for granted that Huang Li was locked in a bitter battle in Guilin before he conquered Liuzhou.

The Ming army fiddled with several telescopes behind them, and combined with the information Yang Yandi told, they were thinking about the rhetoric and methods to conquer the generals.

"Your Majesty is an ordinary man, but he is polite and kind." Yang Yandi couldn't hide his pride and comforted everyone who was walking towards the small tent.

Jin Guang was also confused. Although he thought it was strange, but there was no evidence to prove it, he could only agree with it.

My commander-in-chief was appointed by Zheng Jingfeng, and he was very valuable. Moreover, I was a pirate, so I knew that the emperor would be disgusted by this.

Jin Guang smiled bitterly and said: "I'm afraid, this plan is not a good idea. Alas, people's hearts are fluctuating, and it is more important to gain than gain, but there is no worse way."

Anyway, while waiting anxiously, Yan Fengyan was thinking wildly and worried, fearing that the fleet would come and leave the palace to wait.

"Your own strength is the most trustworthy. No matter now or in the past, you must adhere to that principle. If you don't have a small appetite, eat as much as you want. Don't hold on, and don't go hungry."

………………

Of course, I also took some preventive measures, such as sending Xu Erxian's troops to Zhaoqing to weaken the defense around Guangzhou City, including Xinhui.

Chen Shangchuan smiled. He had not guessed that Yang Yandi had not yet successfully contacted Huang Li. The feeling of a wanderer returning home came over him, and his eyes did not feel sore at all.

Yang Yandi greeted Huang Li's soldiers who had arrived first, and brought over dozens of sets of brand new military uniforms, as well as several sets of damaged armor, and also brought a new set of official uniforms to Chen Shangchuan.

Yan Fengyan was excited because she was only able to visit the palace, but she also had no hope of Xiao Ming's revival. It is the most sad and the most satisfying thing for me to be in a bad state and be reduced to a fishy smell.

Whether the pustule is squeezed or broken, Yan Fengyan's rebellion at this time will cause more trouble than when Huang Li Xiaoju retreated to Guangdong. It is more complicated, can grow less, and causes more trouble.

Chen Anping and Chen Shangchuan were surprised. They thought they could rush to see the emperor before disembarking, but they thought that the emperor would be so condescending as to wait for us.

Those people were relatively alert. When they saw the Qing army advancing and Huang Li coming over, they bravely returned to their hometown on the coast. It was really difficult for us to live, so we managed to survive.

Although he knew that Ni Shenglong's work was quite heavy, the Ming army still had to add more burdens. As long as he was busy for a month or two, he would be nervous.

It's not surprising that it takes one, two months, or even half a year to attack a fortified city. What's more, Hezhou and Wuzhou in Guangxi are both there, which can also provide early warning and barriers for Guangdong.

The staff member Jin Guang stroked his beard, but he thought about how complicated it was, and said thoughtfully: "The prince is a formidable enemy. Zhang Huangyan would be so timid if he had help. It is certain that I have the support of Nanning Yan Feng

."

Chen Anping and Chen Shangchuan looked at each other with expressions of helplessness and embarrassment, but inwardly they took it for granted. Whether they had taken a shower or not, it was not too rude.

That was also a lesson learned from King Li Jin's two expeditions to Guangdong. He expected the Zheng family to send troops to attack from both sides, but was let go, resulting in defeat in both battles.

Before the ship docked, Yang Yandi ran over, waved his hands vigorously, and shouted softly.

Shang Kexi was not afraid of Yan Fengyan, but after the situation became completely gloomy, he dared to take rash actions, fearing that it was a trick to attack the east and attack the west.

………………

I also took etiquette into consideration, so I urged slowly: "Seven little people, don't be tight or fast! Your Majesty is going to summon them. Neng Chang has left the team and is waiting here specially!"

"Send that letter to Lianzhou Mansion as soon as possible and ask Governor Ni to handle it as soon as possible." The Ming army wrote a short letter and sent someone to deliver it.

And without the supply of resources from the mainland, we will not be able to sustain it for a long time.

So, is there any new government arrangement and guidance?

A stone fell to the ground, and Yang Yandi let out a sigh of relief. His relaxed and anxious mood suddenly came up, and his body felt weak.

"It's better to wash up." Yan Fengyan smiled bitterly and said, "Remember, there are no streams in far away places."

But I never expected that Zhang Huangyan would rebel so openly when the situation was clear. That was definitely a sign of dehydration and a sign of knowing whether to live or die.

Shang Kexi stroked his beard and thought for a long time, then said: "Based on Zhang Huangyan's green camp troops, attacking Xinhui is self-defeating. But as the teacher said, it must be defensive. In that case, we can deploy more troops to Xinhui and Jiangmen to ensure

There is a risk.”

Zu Zeqing grinned and smiled without looking ugly, but he felt nervous.

Except for Lianzhou Prefecture, which was placed under Guangxi, Huang Li visited Leizhou and Dizhou without any fanfare and retreat.

Yan Feng seemed to be smiling, but he felt bad about you, very bad.

Huang Li's flags were planted in conspicuous low places. Yang Yandi looked at them with eyes wide open and felt anxious.

My calves are thick enough, the thickest in the world, but they still have to cry and hug me!

"Go and hurry." Yang Yandi ran towards Zu Zeqing and others again.

Tieshan Port.

Finally, a little sail shadow appeared in the distance. In Yang Yandi's sight, the sail shadow became fewer and smaller.

"This is coming." Chen Anping looked at the people who abandoned the ship and landed, rolled his eyes, and complained: "Is it tight or fast..."

Some people have returned to their hometowns and are renovating their houses and reclaiming abandoned farmland. When we saw Huang Li, we were also very scared, but our expressions were full of awe and we dared not get too close.

"Elsewhere - there is no navy yet, but they will be transferred to Guangzhou. When Zhang Huangyan's rebels are defeated, they will be chased and killed more quickly by seaborne troops."

He was born in the 17th year of Chongzhen's reign. He was good at poetry and writing. He joined Yongli when he was seventy years old. He also made many military exploits when King Li Dingguo of Jin Dynasty attacked Guangdong.

Although the navy is important, the Ming army also included our strength in this Eastern Expedition. With the army alone, it is impossible to conquer Guangzhou, so naturally it must consider forces that are impossible to rely on.

"Yan Feng is young in Nanning!" Shang Kexi said doubtfully: "The false prince led the main force to attack Guilin. I ordered Yan Fengyan to attack Nanning. I also wanted to see that I had no different intentions."

Fortunately, I didn't know that a small difficulty was approaching, but now I can regain my composure and composure.

"Why did you move so fast? Did you know that the palace was waiting?" Yan Fengyan rubbed his sore eyes, took the kettle next to him, and drank a gulp of water.

The ship entered the port and docked. As soon as Chen Anping and Yan Fengyan disembarked, Yang Yandi rushed over.

The formation of eight thousand cavalry, with their bright armor and majestic appearance, made Chen Shangchuan, Chen Anping, Zu Zeqing and others marvel at it, but they were relieved and uneasy.

Yan Fengyan, do you have any objection? As a civil servant, I have to pay more attention to my appearance than a military general. I looked back and reminded: "Let's go together when Zu Zeqing comes over!"

It is no longer necessary to cover up operations, and local governments must take over and start work as soon as possible. Generally speaking, people in coastal villages and towns must return to their hometowns as soon as possible and resume normal production and life.

Yang Yandi pointed and said: "I remember that I was wrong, it's only two or eighty years away."

Compared to Chen Anping, I really don’t feel ashamed.

I ended up worrying that the wrong news had been conveyed, resulting in Chen Anping and Chen Shangchuan not knowing that they would meet at Tieshan Port; I also guessed that the seven of them were suspicious and dared to take risks.

In fact, it is simple. Those generals at sea did not seek refuge with the Zheng family, but chose to go it alone. Naturally, they did not have our difficulties and considerations.

"Xinhui is not garrisoned by Yunlong and Wu Tuizhong, and I am very worried. Xu Erxian of Zhaoqing must lead troops to reinforce for the time being."

"It's time to take a shower, let's change some clothes first!" Yang Yandi scratched his head and said without embarrassment: "I was reckless and dressed in rags to see the emperor. Fortunately, the emperor Xiaohong did not blame him."

Yan Fengyan's face was still relatively calm. There was no deputy general Yang Yandi to visit him first, and the palace was waiting for him. This shows that his impression of himself was still wrong.

Equally uneasy, Chen Anping and Chen Shangchuan, who had not yet stood on the bow of the ship, saw the Huang Li flag nearby. They looked at each other and showed relieved smiles.

There were no cavalry nearby to report back, so Chen Anping and others were able to arrive very slowly. The Ming army calmed down and returned to the small tent to wait with peace of mind.

Yan Fengyan looked at Yang Yandi under the bank, laughed and joked: "That guy has changed into new clothes, and his armor is also broken. I almost recognized him."
