"The island barbarians rely on the strong ships and cannons to show off their evil spirits at sea." Tong Yangjia sat on the chair and asked the servant to come up with tea and said casually.&1t;/p>

Li Chengdong looked at his incompetent appearance and was furious, but he also held back and said, "Sir, there are no cowardly fools among the children and grandchildren of Lao Khan. In Ningguta, the prince of Anping was defeated. In the Central Plains, General Abatai was killed. Even the former emperor died at the hands of the island barbarians. These people did not go to the sea to fight for power. Can they still say that the island barbarians are only familiar with water wars?&1t;/p>

Well, let's not mention others. Before going south, the last general and the Jiangnan Green Camp attacked Chongming Fortress in Songjiang. More than 20,000 soldiers and horses were attacked for a fortress for four months. More than 3,000 people died. They couldn't even climb up the city. The 6th Division of the East Banners was so strong that they had never seen the last general in the past few years except for the Eight Banners Manchus. If it weren't for the few people and the few soldiers and horses, you and I wouldn't even be able to enter this Guangdong land."&1t;/p>

Tong Yangjia looked at Li Chengdong's serious appearance and felt a little alert. He smiled and pulled Li Chengdong who was too excited to sit down, and said, "Tingzhen, don't panic, you should know that the court only gave you 20,000 troops and horses, and never thought that we could conquer Guangdong and Guangxi, just go slowly."&1t;/p>

Li Chengdong didn't expect that Tong Yangjia was so inadequate. He was originally dissatisfied with the arrangements of the Qing court. With his contribution, it would not be an exaggeration to be given to the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi. Unfortunately, there was a division between the Qing court inside and outside. All the important positions of governors and governors could be held by the Eight Banners, Han Army or Liao people. But he still had some luck. As long as he made great contributions in Guangdong and Guangxi, he might not be able to take charge of a province.&1t;/p>

Li Chengdong suppressed his dissatisfaction and said, "Sir, you and I are just acting in Guangdong and Guangxi. Don't you want to remove the word "Agent"?"&1t;/p>

Tong Yangjia smiled, "I am not without enterprising spirit, but now there are Shaowu, Yongli and other powerful troops, and Dongfan. It is really not easy to provoke."&1t;/p>

Li Chengdong laughed and said, "It's not true, Governor General, Shaowu and Yongli hated each other. They just had a big internal fight in Sanshui, which was not afraid at all. Although the Eastern Front was elite, there were not many people, and they were only sharp guns and cannons, but there were few cavalry. I have two strategies to make the decision to build a stadium in Guangdong and Guangxi."&1t;/p>

Tong Yangjia was in an instant. In the past, he only knew that Li Chengdong was the first brave general of the green camp, but after this period of cooperation, Li Chengdong is now both wise and brave. In Tingzhou, it was him who let his soldiers disguise themselves as the King Mingjun, and gained the Tingzhou City and captured and killed Emperor Longwu, which is enough to prove.&1t;/p>

"General, come on, hurry up." Tong Yangjia said anxiously.&1t;/p>

Li Chengdong said, "My two strategies are: establishing authority and differentiation."&1t;/p>

"All the way south, lord has seen that the Southern Army is weak, not the troops that are on the battlefield, and the number is not enough to be afraid. To conquer these Southern Army, there is no need to attack and attack, just lure and surrender the important people. If the Southern Army obtains Fang Guoan, Zhejiang will collapse. If Zheng Zhilong, all the Fujianes will be surrendered, and the eastern prefectures in Guangdong will escape. If our army can capture and kill Shaowu, Guangdong will be the thing in your pocket." Li Chengdong said.&1t;/p>

Tong Yangjia thought for a brief moment and felt that it was the truth. He said, "This statement is very reasonable and has a good chance of winning. I heard from local officials in Chaozhou that Emperor Shaowu defeated Yongli in Sanshui, snatched actors' costumes and ascended the throne in Guangzhou, whitewashed peace, claimed great victory, and played a ghost trick like "Happy Learning and Sacrifice to the Heavens. Shaowu's elite soldiers went to Xijiang to pursue Yongli soldiers. Only Li Shilian's troops were blocking between you and me. This was a good time."&1t;/p>

Li Chengdong nodded slightly, thinking that Tong Yangjia was not ignorant. He said, "As the Governor said, the last general is ready to lead 800 cavalry troops in the headquarters to raid Guangzhou. As long as the fake emperor Shaowu is captured and killed, he will be able to shock Guangdong."&1t;/p>

Tong Yangjia clapped his hands repeatedly and said, "With Tingzhen here, I should be relieved. It's just that there are too few 800 people. I know that there are not many war horses in your organization. Let's do this, you can use the war horses in the Supervisor Camp, how about it!"&1t;/p>

Li Chengdong laughed, "thank you, Governor. The second strategy of division still requires the cooperation of the Governor."&1t;/p>

"How to cooperate?" Tong Yangjia asked hurriedly.&1t;/p>

Li Chengdong smiled and said, "The second strategy of division is to require the adults to issue notices in the name of the Governor General of Guangdong and Guangxi to inform the local gentry of Guangdong and Guangxi that the Dongfan is a foreign barbarian and an enemy of the Qing Dynasty. If you have any connection with it, you can immediately cut off contact. Not only will you not blame the past, but you can also serve as an official of the Liangguan Prefecture. If you still have a relationship with it, whether it is your relatives working in Dongfan, Hong Kong, or trade with it, you will be confiscated from your property in Guangdong and Guangxi, and start with Guangzhou first!"&1t;/p>

"Even if this is to win over these people, they cannot be allowed to be officials." Tong Yangjia hesitated.&1t;/p>

Li Chengdong said, "It has been seen that the incident in Nanjing and Wenzhou has been seen that the Dongfan regards our Qing officials as enemies. Anyone who enters the Qing Dynasty will confiscate their homes and slaves. If these people become officials in Guangdong and Guangxi, they will be mortal enemies of the Dongfan. In the future, they will be swearing to serve the Qing Dynasty to the death."&1t;/p>

"Oh, why didn't I think of this?" Tong Yangjia patted his head and said.&1t;/p>

Tong Yangjia asked again, "Will the house search be serious?"&1t;/p>

Li Chengdong smiled, "As the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, you are all ordered by the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty. It is naturally true. I know that you want to win over the gentry of Guangdong and Guangxi, but the gentry of Guangdong and Guangxi is too deeply involved with the Eastern Band, so it is difficult to win over it. It is better to just split it clearly and let them choose one."&1t;/p>

"But if you all follow the Dongfan, you and I will be the sinners of the court." Tong Yangjia became worried.&1t;/p>

Li Chengdong waved his hand and said confidently, "No, no, sir, please think, Guangdong gentry and Dongfan have been involved in these years, and they make money from both ends. It is the ancestral property in Guangdong and the new industry in Dongfan. If you choose one of them, how should you choose?"&1t;/p>

Tong Yangjia thought about it and said, "It's really hard to choose."&1t;/p>

Li Chengdong laughed and complimented, "It is difficult to make a choice with the talent of the Governor, let alone those guys. With his greedy and greedy personality, he will definitely not choose one of two, but will keep them all."&1t;/p>

"How is this possible?" Tong Yangjia shook his head. He knew very well that the Eastern Fan was different from the Ming Dynasty. The hatred between the Eastern Fan and the Qing Dynasty, especially the Qing royal family, was too deep.&1t;/p>

Li Chengdong said, "How is it impossible? If Dongfan defends Guangdong, the new ancestral industry will be protected. On the other hand, you and I will conquer Dongfan and also protect the industries of both places."&1t;/p>

Tong Yangjia said, "Tingzhen, you must not have too many fantasies. You and I only have 30,000 troops. Even if you and I have made great achievements in conquering Guangdong, it is a luxury to attack Hong Kong. As for the Eastern Expo, oh, you and I must not be good at attacking the ocean."&1t;/p>

&1t;/p>

"Haha, what the gentry said is very much, so we must make the gentry feel that the Eastern Band can defend Guangdong, or Guangzhou Prefecture." Li Chengdong said, explaining that "The Eastern Band is different from the Qing Dynasty. Those who have industries in their areas can argue about the political situation. Many Guangdong gentry are in the Eastern Band, Hong Kong, and they still have shares in the United Bank. When they speak, even Li Mingxun has to consider it seriously. And we only need to do one thing, that is, show weakness to the enemy!"&1t;/p>

"Showing weakness?" Tong Yangjia looked puzzled.&1t;/p>

Li Chengdong said, "You and I only have 30,000 troops, which is less than 20,000. I am so showing weakness. First, let Shaowu be despised, and second, let the gentry talk. When I capture and kill Shaowu, I will retreat to Guangzhou. When your army arrives, the gentry must ask the Eastern Ban to guard Guangzhou Prefecture. Haha, by that time, the Eastern Ban would have to divide more than 10,000 elite troops to defend Guangzhou and Hong Kong. My Qing soldiers can defeat each of them. If they retreat, they can involve their troops. Continue to advance westward and capture the fake emperor Yongli!"&1t;/p>

After hearing Li Chengdong's words, Tong Yangjia weighed the pros and cons of the two sides and suddenly laughed, "Tingzhen, it is my lifelong blessing to get your help. Okay, everything is as you said. Whatever you need, no matter what soldiers, horses, money and food, just talk!"&1t;/p>

"Thank you, sir, I will devote myself to my whole life." Li Chengdong said kneeling.&1t;/p>

Hong Kong, New Territories Defense Line.&1t;/p>

The construction of the New Territories Defense Line has not stopped since March of the first year of Hong Kong. It has lasted for twenty months and has exceeded 60,000 migrant workers. During this period, immigrants from Guangdong to Hong Kong and Taiwan must work on the New Territories Defense Line for four months before they can pass, so that this line of defense will not be short of staff.&1t;/p>

The defense line starts from Shenzhen Bay, and goes east along the Shenzhen River to Yantian Port. It is more than 50 miles long. With the Shenzhen River as the boundary, Henan has dug a trench. From the Donghu area, the boundary river is north, so the trench becomes two, each trench is three meter wide and two meter deep. The front trench is filled with water, and the back trench is filled with bamboo sticks. The city defense fortifications are behind the trench. From Shenzhen Bay to Dapeng Bay, a total of four fortresses, Shenzhen Fortress, Guanzha Fort, Citizen Fortress, and Shatoujiao Fort were built. Each fortress is composed of star fortress and fortresses. Three fortresses are in front and Citizen Fortress is at the back. Citizen Fortress is the core of defense. Half the cost of building this fortress is donated by all citizens of Hong Kong, hence the name.&1t;/p>

Guanzha Fort is the only place to communicate with Guangdong. Behind the fortress, there are well-connected official roads and densely arranged military camps. In addition, there are more than 40 observation decks and beacon towers along the coast and islands. The two garrison battalions and one garrison battalion established by the Chief Executive of the Hong Kong at its own expense, with a total of 5,000 people. There are also public security brigades, tax brigades, and militia battalions as reserves. The entire defense system has more than 140 artillery pieces. The two coast guards stationed in Victoria Bay and Dapeng Bay are also cooperating with this defense line. Each has four Gare ships and two Calais sailing ships as the main force, and there are also sampans and fast crabs as support.&1t;/p>

The New Territories Defense Line cost more than 600,000 yuan, all of which were financed by the Hong Kong Chief Executive District or loaned from the United Bank, while all firearms were supported by the Navy and the 6th Army.&1t;/p>

Accompanied by He Liangtao, Li Mingxun inspected the entire defense line for two days. This defense line allows Hong Kong to warn the enemy on the opposite side of the defense line under any weather conditions. It can ensure that within two hours, 2,000 regular troops and 2,000 reserve troops will be mobilized at any time, and twelve artillery can reach any location on the defense line. In other words, whether it is an enemy's strong attack or crossing the sea, it will be attacked halfway.&1t;/p>

Li Mingxun returned to the Citizen Fort, saw Lin He and said, "Lin He, thank you for your hard work. It's really not easy for you to dig out money from those guys to build the fortress defense line."&1t;/p>

Lin He smiled, "In the past, there were always people talking behind their backs. As Zhejiang and Fujian were lost, they all shut up. This period of time has been much better."&1t;/p>

Lin He led Li Mingxun into the civic fort. The conditions here are very poor. After all, the fortress is completely for military purposes. Li Mingxun said, "The Senate will not send a garrison commander, so let Eminem do it. After all, he is very familiar with the mountains and rivers of Hong Kong and the militia. By the way, I heard that he changed his Chinese name, called Li Lin. Even if he changed his Chinese name, he would not need to take my surname. He has always followed you, just take your surname."&1t;/p>

"Haha, I'm just calling Li Lin." Lin He said with a smile. He didn't dare to let Em follow his surname. Lin He would not do anything that would make people misunderstand his cultivation of his followers.&1t;/p>

Seeing that Li Mingxun stopped asking, Lin He said, "Shaowu and Yongli's envoys have arrived, which one would you see first?"&1t;/p>

Li Mingxun waved his hand, "No one sees you, needless to say, you must have asked me for money and food."&1t;/p>

Lin He smiled, "Yes, Yongli and Shaowu both admitted to inheriting the Emperor Longwu. Of course, they all want to inherit the cooperation agreement you signed with Longwu. It is the end of the year. We gave the 100,000 stone of aid grain from the second year of Longwu. We have given it to the Lu Jianguo. Longwu has not given it yet?"&1t;/p>

"Do you just want money and food?" Li Mingxun asked with a smile.&1t;/p>

"I also want our club to recognize that they are orthodox. Both of them played the emotional card. Emperor Yongli called himself your elder brother-in-law, and Shaowu said it was your second grandfather." Lin He said with a smile.&1t;/p>

"Okay, the wife has not yet married her, so she has two more cheap relatives, or a poor relative who can only open her mouth and reach out." Li Mingxun sighed and said helplessly.&1t;/p>

"You have to make a decision for public and private matters, but it's always bad to drag it." Lin He rubbed his hands and said.&1t;/p>

Li Mingxun said, "Two baskets of rotten apricots, there is still some future for Yongli, so I naturally chose my brother-in-law, but Shaowu has mastered the Pearl River Delta, which is really a headache."&1t;/p>

In fact, Lin He also knows that all orthodox orthodox are fake. The club must stand on the side of the strong to have more room. Although the pirate soldiers under Shaowu killed Yongli's King of Soldiers in Sanshui and defeated the King of Soldiers in Yongli, this does not affect the legitimacy and strength of Emperor Yongli. After all, this emperor is a descendant of the Shenzong. Longwu also said that he would pass the throne to him if he died.&1t;/p>

In terms of strength, Shaowu ascended the throne based on the reasons of his brother's success. Those who supported him were several great scholars who escaped from Fuzhou, with Su Guansheng as the one who supported him. Su Guansheng supported Shaowu instead of Yongli because he had a personal grudge with Ding Kuichu, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi. Shaowu was actually the emperor of Guangzhou. The government orders did not leave Guangzhou Prefecture, while Yongli was different. Those who supported him were Ding Kuichu, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, and Qu Shixi, the governor of Guangxi. These two were Jinshi from the Shenzong Dynasty. Whether in terms of blood or emotional, supporting Emperor Yongli was affirmative, and the governor of Qionglei Lin Shizhang also supported Yongli. In an instant, from a small person at the corner, he became the three giants that supported the new emperor. Of course, the more important reason was that Yongli admitted that he had installed a private place in Qiongzhou.&1t;/p>

"Tell me my brother-in-law's envoy, and ask him to send 10,000 troops to my command, and promote Lin Shizhang to the governor of Guangdong. Lin Shizhang and I will deal with Shaowu for him and defeat the Qing army." Li Mingxun said.&1t;/p>

Lin He hesitated a little bit, "This is because he has participated in the war on the Big 6 on a large scale and participated in the orthodox dispute. Should he discuss it with the Senate?"&1t;/p>

"Lin He, what really makes you feel bad are the gentry who come to the door to protect the interests of Guangdong. I will solve such a big problem for you, so you can have a few days of quiet life." Li Mingxun did not respond, but said with a smile.&1t;/p>

Lin He secretly scolded himself for being too polite and said, "Then Shaowu?"&1t;/p>

Wu Mu grinned beside him, "Hehe, this Shaowu is such a fool. He wants money, food, soldiers, and grandfather who wants to be his master. He has taken all the good things in the world. If he wants to go to heaven, let him go to heaven."&1t;/p>
