"The last general will pay homage to the Admiral." Yang Yandi hurried into the main army camp early in the morning.

Xiao Wu, who was having breakfast in the camp, frowned when he saw Yang Yandi coming in a hurry.

"General Yang, why are you in such a hurry?" Xiao Wu said with a smile.

"The Admiral received a report from the Guangnan line. My envoy of Minghai has signed a trade agreement with Guangnan." Yang Yandi said hurriedly.

"Oh, there is such a good thing." Xiao Wu was happy and immediately stood up.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect that a Confucian scholar would have such courage and courage. I did not read it wrong." Xiao Wu originally thought that these Minghai merchants would go and go like meat buns and beat dogs.

Who would have thought that such a weak businessman would really persuade the Lord of Guangnan to engage in trade with the Ming Dynasty?

"Sir, I just received a message from the scouts who were deployed in Haikou. All the Guangnan Navy in Chameng area have been withdrawn from Guangnan." Zhao Zhen, a general of the Zuo Town of the Navy, walked into the main army camp with joy on his face.

"What? Even the Guangnan Navy retreated." Xiao Wu was stunned, then shook his head.

"It seems that I underestimated this Confucian scholar."

Xiao Wu's face suddenly condensed, "Immediately inform the entire army and order the generals of each town to come to the main army camp immediately."

News about the Ming court and Guangnan Yanhe spread throughout Jiading in a short period of time.

The Ming army generals stationed in various places rushed to the main army camp.

"Congratulations to General, now the Guangnan Navy has retreated, and Jiading has no worries." Generals from Fubo towns led by Du Li smiled and walked into the main army camp, clasped their fists at Yang Yandi.

If the Guangnan Navy evacuated, the happiest person is Yang Yandi.

"Everyone, now the Ming court has been in peace with Guangnan and traded. The Land and Sea Chamber of Commerce is actively preparing military rations in Hoi'an. We can send troops to Qiongzhou according to the plan." Xiao Wudao.

After hearing this, the generals of each town were shocked and looked at each other.

"The governor has been trying to seize Qiongzhou for a long time. For our Ming court, Qiongzhou is like a whistle before the anti-Qing Dynasty. Advance can attack Guangdong and Guangxi, and retreat can defend the Qiongzhou Strait. If our army wants to expel the Qing Dynasty, it must seize Qiongzhou." Li Duke Li, who was standing beside him, looked embarrassed when he saw the Ming general present, shouting.

"General Li said it right. Now, our Ming court has occupied the two places of Luzon and Jiading. The troops and food and salary have been resolved. Now, what we need most is to seize a piece of anti-Qing outpost. This Qiongzhou is the place that our Ming court must fight for." Xiao Wu pointed to the Qiongzhou Prefecture on the Nautical Chart and spoke.

"Mr. Admiral, when Mo Jiang was anti-Qing at sea, he had planned to occupy Qiongzhou several times and knew about the terrain of Qiongzhou. Mo Jiang was willing to be the vanguard of the Ming Dynasty and lead the veterans of the left and right battalions to send troops to Qiongzhou to fight for our Ming Dynasty." Yang Yandi, who had been impatient, said hurriedly.

Yang Yandi's situation in the Ming court is very delicate today.

Although he was the admiral of the Jiading Navy and his official title was the same as Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu was the Duke of Qin. In addition, the Jiading area was controlled by the Ming army, so his power was naturally no longer as good as before.

Coupled with the involvement brought by Huang Jin's rebellion, the Ming court was full of distrust of him.

Yang Yandi knew very well that this attack on Qiongzhou was his only chance to turn things around.

"Yeah." Seeing that Yang Yandi asked for a fight and was willing to be the pioneer, Xiao Wu nodded with satisfaction.

"Don't worry, generals, the Qing Dynasty did not garrison the Eight Banners in Qiongzhou Prefecture, and its garrison was just some green camp soldiers." Xiao Wu looked at the Ming general in front of him and said in anger.

"The Ming army stationed in Jiading now includes the Navy Town, Fubo Town, Fuyang Town and Huben Cannon Camp, with a force of up to 3,000, which does not include the two thousand brave and war-friendly foreign soldiers."

"Hundreds of navy warships and more than a hundred artillery guns." Xiao Wu counted the Ming Dynasty's family background, and for some reason a kind of passion arose.

You know, just a few years ago, he was just a defeated general who led the remaining soldiers of two towns to flee to Luzon Island.

But now he can control hundreds of warships and 5,000 mercenaries.

Moreover, Xiao Wu felt that the three town navy under his command could defeat the Zheng family Taiwan navy, which was twice as good as his.

"I am Meidi Liwu Town, and the second battalion on the left and right can send 1,500 soldiers to Qiongzhou." Yang Yandi said on the side.

"I, Dongpu, can send 800 soldiers from Pinghai Camp to the battle." Dongpu general Li Shi spoke.

"There are enough soldiers, what about the food and grass?" Zhao Zhen, the navy Zuozhen, said in doubt.

"Please rest assured, our army has hoarded 200,000 shi of military rations in Jiading area, and although the Jiading area has suffered wars, this year's spring plowing was successfully completed under the supervision of our Ming court. As long as the weather is good this year, a bumper harvest will surely be achieved." Xu Bin said with a smile.

Now, the internal affairs of the Jiading area are mainly entrusted to him and Chen Shangchuan.

Although Huang Jin rebelled after the entry of the Zhenla French army last year, and although Dongpu's autumn harvest was poor, production quickly resumed with the tight grasp of Chen Shangchuan and Xu Bin.

"A few days ago, I received news that the three thousand soldiers from the six towns of Yufan had already taken a long-sea merchant ship to Jiading, and the Governor had allocated 200,000 shi of military rations from Dayu Island to Jiading." Duke Li said.

"Okay, if so, our army can reach 10,000 troops, and military rations can last for several years." Several generals also agreed.

"Our army has sufficient rations, but if we want to attack Qiongzhou, it is difficult to attack without the Qing army's detailed deployment of defense in Qiongzhou Prefectures and counties." Dongpu general Li Shi was very cautious about this. He glanced at Xiao Wu and continued.

"And Yang Yandi has been away from China for ten years. In the Qiongzhou area, we still need to send scouts to investigate and then make detailed plans."

Xiao Wu and Li Du couldn't help but look at Li Shi with approval.

"Don't worry, General Li, the green camp garrison in Qiongzhou area has been discovered by our army's investigation." Li Du said with a smile.

"What?" The Ming generals present were all shocked.

"Please look, this is the Qiongzhou Green Camp garrison discovered by my Ming army." Duke Li hurriedly took out a map and put it on the desk.

The Ming generals present surrounded him.

"How could you know the deployment of the Qiongzhou Green Camp soldiers?" Yang Yandi looked at the map in front of him with disbelief.

"Haha, our army had already explored Qiongzhou as early as when our army entered Jiading." Du Li laughed.

In fact, when the troops were sent to Jiading, the senior leaders of the Ming army had already begun to plot against Qiongzhou.

At that time, they were also sent to Qiongzhou to investigate the deployment of the Qing army green camp in Qiongzhou.

Of course, the Qing army's defenses throughout the island were naturally tight, and ordinary people could not enter the military camp at all.

But the problem is, your Qing army also has to have a meal, right?

Qiongzhou Island has been a barren land since ancient times, and the Qing Dynasty has squeezed the green camp to the extreme.

The Qing army green camp soldiers guarding the island had a very difficult time. Compared with the Fujian Navy officers and soldiers in Taiwan, they were simply a world.

Therefore, as a Guangdong merchant, the land and sea merchant sold fruits and rice at a low price to the Qing army on the island.

At the beginning, the Qing army's garrison was alert and accepted a small amount of fruits and vegetables, and even prohibited vendors from entering the military camp.

However, the prices of fruits and vegetables sold by land and sea merchants were too personal to the soldiers, so the generals of the Qing army turned a blind eye.

After all, the green camp soldiers on the island are really hard. Not to mention fruits and vegetables, even ordinary rice has to be grown by themselves. You can't let the officers and soldiers chew coconuts.

Therefore, with the low price input, land and sea merchants monopolized the supply of fruits and melons and soldiers of the green camp on the island.
