When Chen Shangchuan, the magistrate of Jiading County, learned that Mo Jiu from Hexian Town was willing to surrender, he was stunned.

To be honest, he didn't take this matter to heart.

After all, he knew that this was not realistic, so he only sent Chen Ande to the scene.

Who would have thought that Chen Ande, an old man in his seventies, would convince Mo Jiu with just one mouth without a single shot.

Chen Shangchuan, who heard the news, was overjoyed and hurriedly wrote to the Ming court.

At this time, Jiading County had already extended its sphere of influence to the Dingxiang area in the west.

It is just a river separated from Hexian Town.

In addition, the last time the Ming army defeated the Guangnan Alliance in Zhenla, the people in the south all came to surrender.

The Jiading area can be said to be very good.

Now that the Hexian is coming, the Ming court has added another foothold along the southern coast of Annan.

It can border Siam to the west, and it can be bordered by Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and South.

Chen Shangchuan, who was born in a navy general, naturally knew that now that the Hexian surrendered to the Ming court, the Ming Dynasty would obtain an important port in Nanyang.

Its strategic significance is no less than that of obtaining Jiading.

"Sir, if the Ming court really accepts the Hexian's visit, then he may offend Siam." A chief clerk official spoke.

Chen Shangchuan also looked calm, and he knew about the evil between Hexian and Siam.

Nowadays, the Ming army is expeditioning north, and the supply of food and grass in the country is insufficient, so it is mostly purchased from Siam.

The Sihai Chamber of Commerce opened a shopping mall in the Peking University New Year in Siam, and transported 200,000 stones of rice from Siam in the first half of this year alone.

If it really gets into evil with Siam for this reason, it will be a bit of a loss for the Ming Dynasty.

"This matter should be decided by Lord Liu Yu." Chen Shangchuan didn't want to spend his brains to consider this matter, so he should give the broken jar to Liu Yu to deal with it.

With the stability of Jiading County, Chen Shangchuan also had more energy to gather Han immigrants and reclaim wasteland. It also benefited from the impact of the last defeat of the Zhenla Fan Army.

Many foreign tribes in Jiading County also surrendered to the Ming court and took the initiative to report the population, so that Jiading officials could calmly count their household registration.

Looking at the registered household registration on the desk, Chen Shangchuan sighed deeply. He had not done anything he had in Jiading for seven or eight years, but the Ming court sent troops to Jiading in just half a year.

Today, in Jiading County, the number of Han people is no less than 10,000, and the number of soldiers is as high as 3,000.

These soldiers were soldiers in wartime and farmers in peacetime. The system of unity of soldiers and farmers allowed Jiading to clear the haze of war in the year after the war and quickly restored agricultural production.

The military system is still somewhat different from that of the Luzon Ming court.

The Luzon Ming army was a professional army and did not need to participate in farming.

Today, there are more than 30,000 registered households in Luzon Island, with a population of more than 100,000. Coupled with the sea trade along the coast, it is enough to support thousands of troops.

Of course, the most important one is the Ming army in Luzon, and the number of Han people in the army is quite small.

The current Luzon Island and the Ming army that conquered Qiongzhou in northern China were organized into the Wuzhen Town of Huben, Fubo Town, Shuishi Town, Fuyang Town, Weiwu Town, and Wuwei Town. There are a total of three continental towns and three major water towns.

The three continental towns had 3,000 troops. Except for the veterans of the Zheng army, most of the soldiers were recruited from the Han people in Luzon and the Han people in Jiading, and were basically mainly Han people.

The ingredients of the three major water towns are very complicated.

The three major water towns of Fuyang Town, Fubo Town and Naval Town have a total force of up to 4,000.

There are also pirates who lick blood on the edge of the sword in the South China Sea, local Luzon fishermen who go out to sea to make a living, and sailors from the Sihai Chamber of Commerce.

It can be said that the ingredients are quite complicated, both pros and cons.

You can find all ethnic groups and industries in the Ming army navy.

This also made the Ming army naval army a hodgepodge.

On weekdays, even military commands are difficult to convey to individuals.

Wartime command is indeed a big problem.

This is also the reason why Du Li and Xiao Wu have a headache.

However, the benefits it brings are also very obvious, because these people are either pirates or merchant ship sailors.

He has a rich sea experience, especially in the Nanyang area.

Whenever the Ming army went to a sea area, they could always find someone who knew this sea area from thousands of sailors.

The fierceness in the pirates' bones and the cooperation of Ming army sailors during the naval battle also made the Ming army naval army more powerful in the naval battle.

This is also a very important reason why the Ming army's naval warships have only a hundred and thousands of naval officers and soldiers have been able to traverse the South China Sea.

Its naval warships are well-equipped and have extremely high quality of soldiers.

Because the Han army in Luzon was very scarce, Liu Yu basically did not dare to let Ming army officers and soldiers fight hard to avoid unnecessary casualties.

Therefore, Liu Yu also reused the local Luzonian people and established the Xiaoyong Town and the Yufan Town.

Today, the troops in Yufan Town are mainly distributed in Beiting County and the northern part of Nanpu County.

The Yiluo people were the main one and adopted the system of unity of soldiers and farmers.

During the busy farming period, it was a farmer and in the war, it was a soldier. It was a permanent troop strength of 1,000 people, and in the war it could even reach 3,000 people. It was an important trump card for the Ming court to restrict the foreigners of Nanpu County.

The King of War was the strongest soldier in the hands of the Ming court.

From south of Mingcheng to the central plain, most of the land belongs to the Dilu.

Even the Ming court didn't know how many foreign soldiers there were in his hands?

Officials in Mingcheng estimated that Tagalu's troops under Talu were no less than 3,000.

At the same time, 1,500 people from the three brave towns are still helping in Qiongzhou.

Therefore, it became the most dependent and feared foreign army in the Ming court.

Based on comprehensive calculations, the Ming army on Luzon Island had actually exceeded 10,000.

If the Ming army in Jiading is included and an expansion is carried out.

The troops of the Luzon Ming court could exceed 20,000 to 30,000.

But one problem brought about by this is that the number of the French army will be far greater than that of the Han army.

This is also why the Luzon Ming court, even when it was in the northern expedition to Qiongzhou, only maintained its number of troops at about 10,000.

The population gap between Han Dynasty was too big, and Liu Yu did not dare to expand his army at all.

Wanzhou City

With the last waves of cannons, Wanzhou City was finally captured by the Ming army.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Yang Yandi carried out a half-month siege against Governor Wan.

It means to siege without attacking, completely sealing Wanzhou City.

The generals and officials of Wanzhou Camp in Wanzhou were like ants on a hot pan, and were anxious.

He sent a flood-scale Qing army officers and soldiers several times in a row, and wanted to break out to the north, but they were all driven back to the city by the Ming army officers and soldiers.

The stalemate lasted for half a month, until the red cannon that Yang Yandi had always dreamed of was finally transported to the bottom of Wanzhou the day before yesterday.

As early as when the Ming army landed in Yazhou, the Ming army had already started to use ships to load red-clothed cannons and tiger cannons in batches to get ashore.

However, due to insufficient energy storage for horses and other factors, the transportation of artillery was extremely slow.

Xiao Wu, in Yazhou County, forced to recruit 30 plowing oxen from the county to transport red-clothed cannons.

And the two most powerful red cannons were transported to the city of Wanzhou.

Yang Yandi waited for half a month just to wait for these two powerful red cannons.

When two red-clothed cannons launched artillery on the originally not strong Wanzhou City Wall, the officers and soldiers of the Wanzhou Camp who were guarding the city finally collapsed.

After waiting for half a month, I did not wait for the Qing army to reinforce. Instead, the nearby Linshui County was occupied by the Li people.

The Qing generals and officials who were guarding the city were already desperate.

When the Ming army's red barbarian cannons were fired, the Qing army's green camp officers and soldiers guarding the city wall mutinied and opened the door to present the city directly.

The Ming army officers and soldiers shouted and entered the city. The Qing army green camp soldiers in the city surrendered one after another.

In the end, only a few Qing army generals from Wanzhou Camp were left, leading more than 20 personal soldiers to defend the Wanzhou Prefecture.

Yang Yandi was also very straightforward to these righteous men of the Qing Dynasty who were swearing to death. He directly transferred the Folang machine cannon, bombarded the yamen, and then launched a fire attack on the yamen.

Until the fire engulfed the entire Wanzhou Prefecture Office.

The huge yamen turned into a pile of coke and the wreckage was broken, and the troops were ordered to withdraw.

In this battle of Wanzhou, the Ming army captured Wanzhou City with a small loss and captured more than 400 Qing army officers and soldiers.

Tens of thousands of taels of silver, calligraphy, painting and antiques were found from the ruins of Wanzhou Prefecture and local officials and the mansion of wealthy merchants.

After taking over Wanzhou City, Yang Yandi immediately ordered someone to take over Lingshui County.

Wang Guocheng, the leader of the Li people who had already occupied Lingshui County, rushed to Wanzhou in vain and met Yang Yandi.

Yang Yandi had no good feelings for these Li people who rebelled in chaos.

However, in accordance with the principle of the Governor General, Li and Anti-Qing.

Yang Yandi still praised Wang Guochen.

After learning the news, Xiao Wu immediately conferred the kingdom as the general of Lingshui County.

He asked Wang Guocheng to go north and fight against the Qing Dynasty with the Ming army.

Who would have thought that Wang Guocheng was also a wolf that could not be fed. He immediately gave up his illness and hurried back to Lingshui County, and brought hundreds of people with gold, silver and jewelry looted from the county overnight to the mountainous area.

Therefore, Yang Yandi just smiled contemptuously and ignored it.

After conquering Wanzhou, all the Qing army's green camps in the southern part of Qiongdao were destroyed.

The Ming army that captured Wanzhou then divided into two groups, sent troops to Changhua to help the Ming army, and another Ming army headed north to Anding.

The news of the destruction of the Wanzhou Camp has not yet reached Changhua, but the news of the annihilation of the Qiongzhou Navy has reached the Qing army in Changhua.

When Wu Qijue led his army to Changhua in a dusty manner.

In front of him was a town of less than a hundred people, and Shang Wenkui lying on the sickbed.

"Brother Shang, has the Qiongzhou Navy really been destroyed?" Wu Qijue hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Shang Wenkui's hand.

Shang Wenkui was lying on the sickbed at this time, his breath was weak.

After the Qiongzhou Navy was completely wiped out by Fuyang Town, he was pulled onto a small boat by several Qing troops and fled in a fast ship.

After landing ashore, he looked at the Qiongzhou Navy, who had been wiped out by the entire army. Zhang Wenkui whistled to the sky, vomited old blood, and fell to the ground.

Fortunately, he was rescued by fishermen passing by nearby areas and sent to the Qing army in Changhua.

"Sir, the Qiongzhou Navy has been destroyed. The thieves' strong ships and powerful cannons, we can't resist them." A Qing army naval officer and soldier saw that the commander was lying on the sickbed and said hurriedly.

"Oh!" Wu Qijue sighed, slowly stood up and looked at Shang Wenkui, who was left with only breathless and lost intake, left with a gloomy face.

When Wu Qijue walked into the main army camp, he saw Liu Bao tied up and kneeling on the ground.

"I ask you why there are only ten days left in the Zuoying camp, and why there are less than a hundred people?" Wu Qijue scolded angrily.

"Our army was ambushed by thieves, and the thieves' firearms were sharp, so our army was defeated." Liu Baoyou was weak.

"A bastard, just a group of pirates, where do you get so many firearms?"
