Su Li, the commander-in-chief of Jieshi, was originally from the eastern border of Raoping County, Chaozhou Prefecture. In his early years, he avoided the Yellow Sea and settled in Haifeng County, Huizhou Prefecture. After the Chongzhen Dynasty fell, the Ming court's ability to control the grassroots was greatly reduced, and the Chaohui native bandits were fighting each other.

, Su Li was fighting with the local tycoons of Jieshiwei at that time, and they fought endlessly, so that the people were in dire straits.

Later, Jieshiwei people sneaked out and invited Su Cheng, a pirate nicknamed "Liu Mu Gong" from Fujian. After Su Cheng arrived, he targeted Su Li. Su Li was defeated and was defeated. Soon after, he switched to Su Li.

He served under Su Cheng and became one of Su Cheng's subordinates.

In August of the first year of Hongguang, Zhang Mingzhen, the commander of the Jieshi Guards in the Ming Dynasty, separatized the acropolis. Together with Huilai bandits Lin Heng, Lin Yaodou and others, they robbed Donghai Jiao. Su Chengyang conspired with them and took advantage of his unpreparedness to attack and kill Zhang Mingzhen and seize the Jieshi Guards.

City, and in the following year or two, they successively captured Jiazimensuo and Jieshengsuo, threatening Haifeng County for a time.

In the first month of the second year of Yongli, Su Cheng fell ill. Su Li took the opportunity to assassinate him and became the new leader of the bandits. In April of this year, Chen Kai and Zheng Chenggong entered Chaozhou and began a campaign against Chaozhou.

Mansion strategy.

In the next few years, Su Li captured Haifeng County while fighting the Ming army. When the Ming army's strategic focus shifted, he even captured Huilai County and Jinghai, and killed Zheng Chenggong's troops.

Lu Jue and the county magistrate Wang Huizhi expanded their control area to a large area between the Lianhua Mountains and the coastline, thus becoming the most local force in Guangdong Province that cannot be underestimated.

The area controlled by Su Li was roughly Shanwei City, Lufeng City, Haifeng County and Huilai County. He had nearly 10,000 soldiers, and his weapons and armor were incomparable to those of the Ming army, which had the Ordnance Bureau.

However, compared to the surrounding bandits, the bandits also have a considerable advantage.

Since the capture of Huilai County, the battle between Suli and the Ming army has been concentrated at the junction of Huilai and Puning counties. Either Suli crossed Danan Mountain to attack the Ming army, or the Ming army crossed Danan Mountain to launch a counterattack.

Both sides had victories and defeats, and the Ming army was more elite, but most of the time, with the strength of its numbers, Su Li was always able to achieve undefeated results, so no one could do anything to the other.

Su Li concentrated nearly 6,000 troops on the Huilai front line. The Ming army's strength in Puning was only half of his. Even if the combat effectiveness was stronger, they would still be stretched thin. However, the distance between the two counties was not conducive to large-scale deployment of troops.

, Su Li wanted to take advantage of Chaoyang several times. Whether it was to attack Chenghai County or to attack Puning County from a flank, this was the best way. Unfortunately, Chen Bin's defense against him was no worse than that against the Ming army, and was even better.

As long as the plan is in place, the matter of borrowing the road will never be done.

A few days later, Chen Bin's letter arrived in front of Su Li's case. The content was nothing more than an agreement to borrow the passage, but for a long time before, Chen Bin's attitude towards it was still fresh in Su Li's memory. At this moment, it was

Some doubts arose.

"What do you think this big slap is?"

This is the biggest question in Su Li's mind. Even though he was the one who asked Chen Bin to borrow the passage earlier, but now, this question cannot be answered, and he will never dare to send troops easily.

Su Li was born as a bandit and could not read. When the letter came, just like Chen Bin, he was looking for a clerk to write it. He also found an old master who could read and read it to him. At this moment, Su Li confessed.

Questioned, the old master quickly turned over the letter, read it carefully, and then gave an answer.

"Master, do you think this big slap was forced by the old prince?"

The old master read it again, which he thought was a bit fishy. When Suli heard it, he closed his eyes and thought about it, and he always felt a little forced in it.

The old prince refers to Shang Kexi, who now holds all the military and political power in Guangdong Province. Since the capture of Guangzhou, the Qing army swept through western Guangdong, Zhaoqing Prefecture, Luoding Prefecture, Gaozhou Prefecture, Lianzhou Prefecture, and Leizhou Prefecture and pacified them one after another.

, in the entire western Guangdong, only Qiongzhou Prefecture, an island of its own, is still struggling to support itself.

Although the Qing army was dominant on land, Qiongzhou was shielded by the strait, and its navy was criss-crossed, attacking Gaozhou Prefecture and other places from time to time. On the Qing army's side, due to the disastrous defeat in the Pearl River Battle, the navy was almost as weak as

There is no general, and even Ling Dingyang dare not set foot in it. On the contrary, the Ming army who has been taking advantage of Qiongzhou Prefecture has no good way.

This is already the case in western Guangdong, but Chaozhou in eastern Guangdong is connected by land to the areas occupied by the Qing army. Shang Kexi wrote several times, asking Hao Shangjiu, Su Li, Huang Yingjie and Chen Bin to launch a more ferocious offensive against Chaozhou as soon as possible.

The Ming army drove out of Guangdong. So far, only Hao Shangjiu has successfully captured Chengxiang County, and they are still unable to advance.

Among these four people, Huang Yingjie only has the stamina, while the three of them are the vanguard. Now that Hao Shangjiu has taken the lead, the pressure they face has naturally increased. This is not only felt by Chen Bin but also Su Li

Even more profound. Apart from anything else, the dissatisfaction in Shang Ke's tone became more and more serious as he ordered again and again. If he couldn't even tell this, then it would be new.

Listening to the old master talking here, Su Li also nodded silently: "Some time ago, I sent someone to Guangzhou. Mr. Jin who was beside the old prince said that the old prince and the young prince were a little impatient and planned to take the vassal in person.

The soldiers came to attack Chaozhou... Now, the feudal soldiers set out from Liaodong and went all the way south. The journey took more than a year, and then they fought hard for a year after arriving in Guangdong. The army officers and soldiers were still enjoying the wealth and splendor of Guangzhou, and lacked

The motivation to send troops. But if it is delayed for a long time and the feudal soldiers are really attracted, those greedy guys may even spit out a piece of meat."

It is inevitable for the central government to suppress local forces, not to mention that Shanggeng Erfan was the Tu emperor who looked after Guangdong Province for the Qing court. In the eyes of those big Tu emperors, small Tu emperors like him were naturally an eyesore.

What an eyesore.

The territory of One Guard, Two Suo and Two Counties is not that big, but Suli does not want to be slaughtered by others. It is necessary to further expand the territory. For this reason, he levies violently in the existing occupied areas to expand his army.

The scale of the attack continued towards the areas controlled by the Ming army. Now, Chen Bin seemed to be under pressure and wanted to join forces with him, but this was an excellent opportunity.

"I remember that my husband once said a word, what does it mean to call it false Daofa?"

"It's a false way of attacking Guo, my boss."

"Yes, it's Defeating Guo." At this point, Su Li's face flashed with a trace of cruelty, and he immediately said: "Reply a letter and tell Dashang that I agree to join forces. As for the gains after defeating the pirates,

The distribution is as he said - Puning's territory belongs to me, and the property belongs to him; Chenghai's territory belongs to him, and the property belongs to me. But for the seizure, I want to take more, because I sent more soldiers
