The Qing army expressed its stance to cause trouble for one Ming army and begged another Ming army to let go. This situation sounds incredible. However, in the history of the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, the Ming army pitted the Qing army against each other.

Weird jokes about victory are common. Many battles that had already shown signs of victory were deceived by each other, leading to death and annihilation. But those people continued to deceive each other afterward, as if the previous example had no effect at all.

Same thing happened.

The root of all this is the word profit. The Ming Army in western Guangdong and Chen Kai and Lin Cha in Hong Kong Island are not the same faction of the Ming Army. Even if they are the same faction, they will inevitably compete for power internally.

The plan was agreed upon, especially as some news came from Guangxi, they seized the time and sent people overnight to spread the news to a small area in the direction of Wencun, while flying pigeons sent letters to Gaozhou Prefecture to issue orders.

On the other side of Gaozhou Prefecture, there is Gao Lian Lei Qiong's Fourth Prefecture. There, after nearly a year of hard fighting and the surrender of Du Yonghe and others, the Qing army wiped out a large number of Ming troops, including Nanyang Bo Li Yuanyin, the admiral of the imperial camp.

Li Mingzhong, Haikang Bo of the Admiral Gao Leiqiong Sanfu, Zhenping Bo Zhou Dynasty, and the chief military officer Yuan Sheng were captured and killed by the Qing army; the chief military officer Shangguan Xinggong, the newly attacked Yiyang King, and others were killed by the Qing army; the chief military officer Cai

Kui and others surrendered.

Among them, Li Mingzhong once belonged to Dongjiang Town. King Sanshun surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, and he entered the pass alone. In the Southern Ming Dynasty, he was appointed as the deputy commander-in-chief of Xunwu, Guangxi, commanding three thousand Guangxi wolf soldiers, and was promoted several times. At one time, he

Li Chengdong's soldiers surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, and then followed Li Chengdong anyway. When the city of Guangzhou was defeated and the Qing army swept across western Guangdong, Geng Jimao used his father's friendship with him to send envoys to persuade him to surrender, but he was killed by his envoys and refused. Earlier.

The Qinzhou Deng Yao mentioned by Li Jianjie and Chen Kai was Li Mingzhong's general, but by that time Li Mingzhong had already died, and most of the remaining troops were under the command of Deng Yao.

However, the Qing army's campaign against the Ming army did not end with the fall of Qiongzhou Prefecture. Du Yonghe, Zhang Yue, Wu Wenwen and others were appointed as accompanying commanders to assist the Qing army in suppressing the Ming army in various prefectures.

There was no formal dispatch, but they were still very busy. Especially after the news came from Guangxi that Li Dingguo forced Kong Youde to death, the Qing army in western Guangdong went crazy to suppress the Ming army, fearing that

Once Li Dingguo goes to war with the Qing army in Guangdong, more people will jump out to respond.

They are busy with the campaign here, but Shang Kexi has given them some new tasks over there. Zhang Yue is very lucky that he is not among the recruited personnel. After all, the Qing army still has to maintain the momentum of the campaign against Gao Lian, Lei Qiong and the Four Prefectures.

Changed, but since the news of Kong Youde's death came, Zhang Yue would have some thoughts from time to time whether it was too hasty to surrender.

The shock in Guangxi was too great. Guangdong, especially the Ming and Qing armies in western Guangdong, were affected to varying degrees. However, Du Yonghe was not among those who felt regret. He was the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi.

, although the means of obtaining this position were not very impressive, Mingting recognized it with his nose pinched. But when he lost the city of Guangzhou, Mingting immediately sent a Liancheng Bi.

The governor of Guangdong and Guangxi no longer takes him seriously. Let me ask you, with such a court, even if you switch back, you may not end up well, so why bother to regret it?

After surrendering to the Qing Dynasty, the suppression work was considered conscientious. Du Yonghe had to start all over again, trying to gain a firm foothold on the side of the Qing court and then slowly climb up. However, when this order was conveyed to Gaozhou Prefecture, others

Maybe he still doesn't understand clearly, but how could someone like him not know that this call was not because Chen Kai blocked the Pearl River Estuary and prevented Shang Kexi from doing sea trade.

"Brother Du, what should we do?"

"What else can we do? The old prince and the young prince asked us to go over there. Can we not go over?"

The huge profits from sea trade originally belonged to Du Yong and them, but now they have to help Shang Kexi clear the sea trade routes, and they estimate that they will not get a penny. Once they think of the huge profits, how can Du Yonghe

Don't feel bad.

"What's more, it's Chen Kai who's blocking the Pearl River Estuary. Isn't this the time to take revenge and complain?"

Wu Wenwen knew that Du Yonghe hated Chen Kai very much. Apart from that, the wild goose plucking his hair instantly swallowed up more than 100,000 taels of silver from him, and even forced him to grant Chen Kai full power.

Endorsing Chen Kai's actions made it impossible for Du Yonghe to find a reason to impeach him afterwards.

In comparison, Wu Wenwen had no hatred for Chen Kai. Chen Kai even went into his camp alone to persuade him to switch over, and persuaded Li Jianjie and the others to fight another round in the city. This required great courage.

.However, since Du Yonghe is unhappy with Chen Kai, they are fellow villagers and have always hugged each other tightly, so there is no reason to oppose him.

"That Liancheng Bi, Chen Qice and those people..."

"The old prince said there is a way, but let's not get too close to them, lest we spoil things."

Shang Kexi's order was urgent, so Du Yong and the others had to set off at full speed. From Gaozhou Prefecture to the Pearl River Estuary, they had to cross more than 600 miles of sea route. The land route took a long time, but sailing on the sea was easy as long as the wind and water were smooth.

Can be reached quickly.

The ship sailed through the waves, and the blue water was endless as far as the eye could see. The limit of sight was only the line connecting the sea and the sky. As the ship moved, it remained consistent. At first, they sailed along the coastline.

This way they could easily identify where they were sailing, but after leaving the coast of Gaozhou Prefecture, they immediately turned south and then eastward, because Gaozhou Prefecture was adjacent to Zhaoqing Prefecture, and the southernmost end of Zhaoqing Prefecture was the coast where Li Changrong was stationed.

Lingdao.

Li Changrong is not a big deal, but once he confronts Li Changrong, it will inevitably mean a chain reaction between Chen Qice and Wang Xing, which will defeat the purpose of this trip.

When the distance is a little further, you can no longer see the coastline, and you can only rely on experience and instruments such as compasses to identify the direction and orientation.

The ship sailed all the way east, then turned north and headed straight to the waters of Hailing Island. Looking north, there was no shadow of Hailing Island. However, a few Ming ships discovered their whereabouts.

, came up and saw that they were flying under the banner of Du Yonghe, but they only stayed in the distance for a while. It was estimated that after they left Li Changrong's defense zone, they ignored them and turned around to return to Hailing Island.

The attitude of the Ming army made Du Yonghe and Wu Wenwen feel relieved. It seemed that the promising method was effective. In this way, as long as they crossed the waters of Shangxiachuan Island and entered the Pearl River waterway from Xinhui and Jiangmen,

, I think the Ming Navy, which was based on Hong Kong Island, had no chance to react.

Such calculations are not just due to Du Yonghe and Wu Wenwen's thinking, but also Shang Kexi's will - to converge first and then attack, focusing on the harassment card, so that the Ming army cannot continue its cruise, and then the route will naturally be cleared.

.

After getting rid of contact with Li Changrong's navy, the fleet continued to sail eastward, still not daring to find the coastline. They were trying to avoid Chen Qice's navy for the same reason as Li Changrong, and it didn't take long for them to do the same.

Just like when they were in the waters south of Zhaoqing Prefecture, they encountered Chen Qice's navy soon after entering the waters south of Guangzhou Prefecture. Those ships also did not launch an attack, they just followed. Only

The difference is that one of the clippers broke away from the fleet and seemed to be returning to Shangxiachuan Island to report the news.

"Chen Qice is indeed a famous general of the Guangdong Navy. His subordinates are far more prudent than Li Changrong's subordinates."

Regarding Du Yonghe's evaluation, the general naturally nodded in agreement. However, after a while, there seemed to be more black dots on the sea and sky in the northwest, and as time went by, these little dots turned out to be

There are more and more.

"There's something wrong."

Frowning, Du Yonghe thought about it and sent a small boat to contact the following ships. He showed Du Yonghe's identity, their old friendship and that they were just looking for trouble with Chen Kai.

Regarding your position, you have to make it clear about anything to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.

The boat slowly sailed away. After a long time, several ships following the Ming army merged with the fleet that followed. Even if Du Yonghe looked at the past, he knew that it was not something that his fleet could compete with. For the current plan,

One was to avoid contact as much as possible, and the other was to rely on the lobbyists on the boat. However, after a while, the boat came back, and the lobbyist who had been sent had just climbed on board and brought him something he least expected.

Sad news to hear.

"This commander only knows how to be a thief. He wants me, Chen Qice, to sit back and watch while you attack friendly forces. I'm dreaming!"
