Chapter 229 Restoration

At this moment, Wu Xingzuo, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi in Guangzhou Prefecture, was discussing fiercely with the Guangzhou General Bai Yindali.

"I will never agree with mobilizing troops to Leizhou at this moment. We should assemble the navy warships now and send troops to Qiongzhou immediately." Wang Xingzuo's face turned red and his ears were equatorial.

"I mean, we should go out of the navy warship and go together to wipe out the pirates in the direction of Leizhou."

"Then the green camp soldiers in Guangdong and Guangxi are gathering forces to recover Qiongzhou." Baiyinda Li said.

"Look at the battle report in Leizhou direction, you know that the pirates are now harassing the coastal areas of Leizhou." Baiyindali threw the battle report of the general of Leizhou on the desk.

"As long as we dispatch the Green Camp troops and cooperate with the Guangdong and Guangxi Navy to annihilate the pirate naval forces that were harassing the coast of Leizhou, then Qiongdao will naturally be worry-free." The Guangzhou general Bai Yindali shouted angrily.

The two of them have a big difference in what direction to use their troops.

Why didn’t Wu Xingzuo understand the meaning of worshiping Yindali?

After all, Qiongzhou has fallen now, but Leizhou is still there.

Of course, it is necessary to solve the problem in Leizhou and then solve the problem of Qiongdao.

But the problem is that the news of the fall of Qiongzhou has been reported to the capital. What should the emperor blame him?

He is a general in Guangzhou, and was born in the Eight Banners.

The last scapegoat is his governor of Guangdong and Guangxi.

Therefore, Wu Xingzuo still hoped that before the news of the capital had reached, he immediately sent green camp troops to land on Qiongdao to resolve the pirates.

But worshiping the Yinda Li is much more realistic.

He keenly realized that the pirates occupying Qiong Island this time seemed very unusual.

How fast is this to annihilate the Qing army green camp on the island within half a month.

Even the Qiongzhou Navy was not spared.

"I found it, I found it." Suddenly, Guangzhou Governor Li Shizhen ran to the hall panting.

"Brother Yike, what have you found? Could it be that the identity of the pirate who captured Haiqiong Island was found out?" Wu Xingzuo asked.

Li Shizhen hurriedly took a bite of tea, then breathed a sigh of relief, and said.

"Is it really Yang Yandi from Guangnan?" Bai Yindali asked.

"No," Li Shizhen nodded and then said again.

"But he is just one of them."

After saying this, Wu Xingzuo's face suddenly changed.

"Li Shizhen, what you said is true?" Bai Yindali asked in disbelief.

Li Shizhen nodded, and his face still showed a hint of disbelief.

"When Dongning rebelled, Xiao Wu led a fleet of more than a thousand people to Luzon."

"Later, I heard from merchants in Guangdong and Guangxi that Xiao Wu and the Ming people fought against the red-haired ghost on Luzon Island, and they actually made him gain a foothold on the island." Wu Xingzuo sighed.

"Yes, it was Xiao Wu who led the troops to occupy Qiong Island this time." Li Shizhen sighed and said.

Who would have thought that the Qing court accidentally let a small fish go.

In just a few years, he turned out to be a giant whale.

"I'm going to blame Shi Lang for this. When I write a letter, I'll scold Shi Lang hard." Wu Xingzuo said coldly.

Bai Yindali was quite calm, and it was useless to accuse anyone of them at this moment.

"How many thieves are there? How many naval warships are there?" Bai Yindali looked at Li Shizhen.

Li Shizhen was in trouble. In such a short period of time, it would be amazing that he could know that it was the rebel general of the Zheng army led by Xiao Wu. How could he know how many rebels and warships there are?

Baiyindali didn't ask any more, and he knew he was abrupt.

As a general in Guangzhou, I couldn't find out, so how could a governor know?

"If it were really the Zheng family rebels who could not escape Luzon back then, then the problem would be serious." Wu Xingzuo, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, looked even more ugly at this moment.

"Not bad." Baiyindali nodded.

"According to Shi Lang's war report, there were more than 1,500 Zheng's rebels who fled south, and when Chen Shangchuan and Yang Yandi led the pirates to escape south, there were also three thousand people."

"What's more, they have been developing in Southeast Asia for several years, and they may have less than 10,000 troops." Baiyindali also took a breath. He finally understood why the Qing army's green camp soldiers were so vulnerable.

If it was really a army of tens of thousands of thieves, then Wu Qijue could not resist it.

"So, two adults, how should I defend Guangdong now?"

"The thief army has begun to harass Leizhou." Guangzhou Governor Li Shizhen said hurriedly.

Baiyindali was silent, and Wu Xingzuo was also strolling and thinking.

"In my opinion, instead of waiting for the pirates to attack, it is better to gather all the sea defense forces in Guangzhou, and the navy warships attack together to completely defeat the thief army near the Qiongzhou Strait." Wu Xingzuo gritted his teeth and spoke.

Bai Yindali did not object this time. After hearing Wu Xingzuo's proposal, he nodded.

"Let's do this, we will gather naval warships in the Guangzhou Bay area and summon the troops of various battalions." The salute of the beatings came.

"How long will it take for the two adults? How much silver and food?" Guangdong Governor Li Shizhen said hurriedly after hearing the two of them wanted to send troops.

As the saying goes, before the troops move, food and grass move first.

If there are really tens of thousands of thieves, then the green camp in Guangdong will have to mobilize at least tens of thousands of troops. Then the supplies, food and silver for the tens of thousands of troops need to be supervised by the governor of Guangzhou.

"Brother Yike, it may take half a month for us to assemble the Guangzhou Navy and the Green Camp, and the war may take several months." Wu Xingzuo thought for a moment.

"I would also like to ask the governor to prepare 50,000 s of military rations and 200,000 taels of silver in the wartime treasury." Wu Xingzuo said.

Hearing this, Li Shizhen took a breath, but his brows were furrowed.

With so much military rations and silver, where did he, the governor of Guangzhou, go?

However, looking at the eyes of the two adults, Li Shizhen finally gritted his teeth and agreed.

Just when Guangdong and Guangxi were preparing to gather their forces to wipe out the bandit army in Qiongzhou.

The Ming army is vigorously strengthening coastal artillery.

In the direction of Chengmai, Xiao Wu looked at the fortress in the distance that was being intensively supervised.

There are indeed quite a few coastal defense turrets in the north.

Thanks to the famous maritime anti-Qing generals such as Deng Yao and Yang Yandi, the Qing army deployed a large number of coastal defense forts in the north.

Yang Yandi, who was operating in the Qinzhou Bay area, sent troops to attack Qiongzhou many times, but was repelled by the Qing army's shore defense fortress and the green camp.

Unfortunately, this time the Ming army landed from Yazhou in the south, and there were land wars along the way.

From Changhua to Lingao and Chengmai, these muzzles facing the coast naturally lost their place of use.

After the Qing army was wiped out under Changhua City, the green camp soldiers from these coastal artillery also fled in all directions.

He handed over the forts to the Ming army.
