Chen Zizhuang cried and cried, Hong Tianzhuo sat cross-legged and said nothing. He was originally a confidant of Ding Kuichu, but now Ding Kuichu has surrendered. What are the benefits of him as a lieutenant?

Lin Cha pulled out his sword and waved it in front of Su Pin. The sharp blade cuts his clothes. A cold and harsh feeling came. Su Pin did not dare to move at all, for fear that Li Mingxun would take him off with a knife. Lin Cha said: "Su Pin, you'd better say something useful, otherwise I'll cut your ribs. If I'm fast enough, you might still see your beating heart."

"I said, I said, Master Chief, no, Ding Kuichu, the dog thief, did not follow the king's companion. On that day, the emperor was far away to Guilin, but the dog thief had many gold, silver and fines and soft things, so he secretly transported the thief secretly, and then informed the emperor of the whereabouts and asked Li Chengdong to chase and kill the emperor. He took people to Cenxi and sent the criminals to contact Li Chengdong. The criminals came all the way east and saw the Green Camp soldiers, and Wuzhou Zhaoqing only had a side general to guard the harbor. He thought that Li Chengdong must be in Zhaoqing, so he went to Zhaoqing..." Su Pin said carefully.

Seeing his eyes flashing, Lin Cha suddenly cut off Su Pin's ear with a knife. Su Pin screamed, "General, actually, when Ding Kuichu took office as the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, he felt that the situation was not good, so he gathered greed and became the chief minister and even sold official positions. Moreover, he appointed his father-in-law of the criminal as the magistrate of Cenxi County, specifically to manage and hide private money for him!"

Lee Mingxun smiled and said, "The truth is revealed now."

"Unfortunately, such a traitor came out of the National Bureau..." Chen Zizhuang cried continuously.

Lee Mingxun said: "It seems that it is not a bad thing now."

Chen Zizhuang stood up, raised his eyebrows and shouted, "Well, don't be gloating here!"

Lin Cha said, "Mr. Chen, Bei Zhi understands what Lord Li means."

As he said that, Lin Cha pointed to Cen Xi's place and said, "Cen Xi is on the road to be humble and serving the king. You only need to turn a little on the road to capture and kill Ding Kuichu, the treasonous thief. He was in charge of Guangdong and Guangxi and served as the chief minister. During this period, he made a lot of money. His family was not as huge as one million, and there were seven or eight hundred thousand. These silver and money could be used for national use. If Ding Kuichu had not greedy for this money, most of the money would have to fall into the hands of the Qing captain."

"If there is such a huge sum of money, it is hoped that Guangdong will be restored." Ding Kuichu said suddenly.

Wu Mu couldn't stand it and shouted repeatedly: "You always have such fantasies when you go there. What can you do if you are 700,000 taels of silver be used? In a major battle, 700,000 taels of silver will be thrown in. If it is used to restore Guangdong, it will be a waste. Besides, this news is obtained by us, and we have caught people. Ding Kuichu's money in greedy Mo will always have to share half of it!"

"That is the state's public funds and people's wealth!" Chen Zizhuang stomped his feet and shouted.

Wu Mu just wanted to get angry with the old man and said, "Old Thief Ding is a national rebellion, and everyone can kill him. Whoever kills his money will take, just like in Nanjing, Lord Chen, this time he went to Guangxi to Qinwang, I will take the club soldiers and horses. Hehe, Ding Kuichu's money is our club!"

"You... I'm fighting with you!" Chen Zizhuang screamed.

Li Mingxun stopped Chen Zizhuang and said, "Old sir, why are you even pretending to be a Jurchen barbarian? If I want this money, I will force you to come in. Why did I let Su Pin tell the truth in front of you?"

Seeing Wu Mu's smirk, Chen Zizhuang knew he was deceived and asked directly: "Mr. Li, how do you think you will deal with this money!"

Li Mingxun smiled: "If you don't know, I can take it into my pocket. Since I know, I will be good at it. Lord Chen doesn't count. Haha, you and I are really worried about it. This time, General Wu Mu and General Lin went to serve the king. When they met the emperor, they just asked him to make the decision."

When Chen Zizhuang heard that Li Mingxun was not greedy for this money, he felt relieved. Chen Zizhuang said, "Okay, as Lord Li said, this Su Pin is taken away by me. I will cut him alive in front of the gentry and people in Guangzhou!"

Hong Tian raised his face, following him like a dead ashes, and he was walking zombies. Li Mingxun said, "Sir Hong, go back and have a rest early, and you will set off tomorrow."

Hong Tianzhuo said: "When you have arrived in such a field, can you still supervise the soldiers who are helping the king?"

"If you are a loyal minister, you will lead your troops as planned. If you are not a loyal minister, you will return home." Li Mingxun said seriously.

Hong Tianzhu sighed and said, as Chen Zizhuang left, if he was a loyal minister to sacrifice his country in the late Ming Dynasty, Hong Tianzhuo would not count. In the original history, he failed to fight against the Qing Dynasty and surrendered and wanted to return to the land, but was stopped by Li Chengdong. Later, he followed Li Chengdong anyway, although he was promoted, he was not well-known and was killed by someone after returning home.

Lin Cha asked: "Your Excellency, do you think he will go?"

"Yes, if he can kill Ding Kuichu, he can prove his innocence. Anyway, the troops of the king are in your hands and Wumu, what will happen if he is unfaithful?" Li Mingxun smiled and sat down. He said to Wumu and Lincha: "Since Ding Kuichu is in Cenxi, after you enter Gui, you will immediately capture and kill Ding thieves and take their money. This is the first priority. If you get the money, you will immediately send someone to Qiongzhou. Money is the best, and you will be the second best, and you will be the second best, so you don't need to take risks."

Lin Cha said in confusion: "Your Excellency, you didn't agree to Lord Chen just now..."

Li Mingxun said: "I said I wouldn't want this money, but I can't give it to Chen Zizhuang. Although this man is loyal and righteous, he doesn't know the military, and he also fantasizes about the people's hearts. If he gives it to him, it's probably a waste to recruit local brave men to dream of restoring the broad masses. This is undoubtedly a waste. If the money is obtained, he will leave it to Lord Lin Shizhang for the long-term plan!"

Lin Cha focused on the key points and understood. Lin Cha asked, "How will the coalition troops arrange the troops after the king's troops leave?"

Li Mingxun said: "Of course, we are maintaining the status quo. Now that the Ming army is donating in Daxing, Guangzhou Prefecture, we will continue. With the existing grain and the low-priced grain obtained from Hong Kong, there should be no problem in supporting it for two months. Within two months, the coalition forces should not retreat. Otherwise, once the coalition forces retreat, Tong Yangjia will support Li Chengdong, and Guangxi will be in danger. Even if Guangzhou cannot defend and the coalition forces retreat, they will still have to protect Leizhou, Lianzhou, and Qiongzhou. We must make the retreat of the royal army safe and secure the passage between Guangxi and the overseas."

Lin Cha bowed and said, "Mr. Lin understands that he should fulfill his mission when he goes to Guangxi this time!"

Hong Tianzhuo, Lin Cha and Wu Mu set out early the next morning, with Hong Tianzhuo as the military supervisor, Lin Cha as the head coach, Wu Mu was the deputy general, commanding 1,500 soldiers in Guangdong, two Marines in the club, and more than 800 Ding Zhuang and boatmen, went south all the way to Guanghaiwei and boarded a sea boat at the temporary dock.

Coincidentally, the three of them were riding on a main fleet, with two main ships and two cruise ships in the fleet, and the rest were Ahat-style transport ships, which were part of the Navy's large fleet.

"Although it is not the first time I have seen the Eastern Ball Boat, I have experienced it myself and there is a heroic feeling that everything is in the ocean and everything is impossible to go to!" Lin Cha, who was standing at the bow of the Orcas, sighed.

As a civil servant, Hong Tianzhuo had nothing special except for the larger ships and more cannons. However, he was puzzled and asked: "General Wumu, this kind of large fleet cannot be specially transported to us."

Wu Mu said: "Of course not. You may have heard that the sacred people in Gaozhou, Lianzhou, surrendered to the Qing barbarians. They originally wanted to go to the sacrificial stake in the Zhujiang River, but were intercepted by our Hong Kong squadron. Since they had been rebelled, they would go in for a fight. This time, a part of our Navy advanced westward from Hong Kong. Lord Huang Fei, the general general of the Guangdong Navy, attacked along the Annan coast, attacked on both sides, and solved the sacred people in one go."

"These gangsters finally met someone who ate raw rice. Haha, it's so satisfying!" Lin Cha said with a smile.

The sacred people have always been one of the sources of chaos in Guangdong. In the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty, they never really conquered the sacred people, nor had they registered households. The most valuable thing in Lianzhou is pearls. Seven of the eight pearl ponds are in Lianzhou, but six of these seven were controlled by the sacred people. However, the community was never afraid of the sacred people. When Hong Kong opened a port, some sacred people attacked ships from Western routes and were cleared by the navy. Now the sacred people surrendered to the Qing captives, and the navy was just in progress. Don’t let the Senate think that the navy was not working hard.

The fleet went westward and encountered the schooners in the Dianbai area. Several schooners fired guns and cannons to sink the small boats that the schooners depended on for their livelihood, pulled the prisoners onto the ships, and continued to advance. The Orcas did not participate in the war. When they arrived in the Qiongzhou Strait, the number of schooners increased. The sailboats and schooners in the fleet attacked from all sides. On the west side of the Qiongzhou Strait, they entered the entrance of the North Sea. They encountered the ambush from the schooners. The Orcas rushed into the dense sea of ​​ships of the schooners. All the artillery loaded with shotguns, and the artillery fire was directly dyed red under the sky. At the end of the battle, Huang Fei's warship also arrived and attacked on both sides.

A naval battle did not delay any time, but it killed most of the elite soldiers of the Han people. At least this half-band and half-people maritime force could not help the evildoers. More than 4,000 Han people were arrested, and all of them were transported to Qiongzhou, where Tiandufu Iron Mine, developed by United Bank loans, is entering the stage of increasing production, and slaves are never enough.

In three days, the royal army arrived in Lianzhou and directly occupied Hepu Port. Hepu is also a famous port. Thousands of years ago, during the prosperous Han Dynasty, Hepu was the starting point of the Maritime Silk Road and was once the largest seaport. This port was closely related to the conflict between China and Vietnam. Hepu has been an important logistics port for expeditions to Annan in all dynasties.

In order to continue to clear the sacrificial people, the joint fleet directly controlled Hepu Port, which was also the logistics location of the King of Qiongzhou. There were not only the sacrificial people in Qiongzhou, but also the pirates who had relationships with Annan. This time, the King of Qiongzhou went ashore from Lianzhou. Because Hepu Port was silted from the Sui Dynasty, the big ship could not stand by. Now the north wind is strong, and the small boats on the Nanliu River dare not enter the sea, so they can only get off the boat and get on the boat.

Fortunately, it was night after getting off the ship. The whole army rested in the city for a day. The next day, he took a small boat upstream. The prefect of Lianzhou had already recruited ships of all sizes to support the King of Qin. Wu Mu waved his hand and took out three thousand taels of silver and five thousand stones of fine rice to recruit boatmen and shipmen who were familiar with the Nanliu River waterway. He recruited thousands of people in one night. The King of Qin was riding a ship carrying salt. The ships were only twenty or thirty tons of water. Although they also had sails, they were not used in many cases. Most of them were oars and oars. The waterway of the Nanliu River was not smooth and the river surface was narrow. Usually, they needed to row oars and oars when they arrived at many shallows.

More than a dozen large pots were placed upstream of the shallows, and beef, mutton and various vegetables were stewed in the pot. The tender and mellow soup rolled up. Under the rich aroma, thousands of boatmen shouted trumpets and pulled the troop ship across the beach. These barefoot boatmen were skillful in cooperation. Most of them pulled in front, while a small number of people were wading in front, using wooden shovels to flatten the mud and sand in the river to increase the depth of the water. Wu Mu was amazed at it. He thought fortunately, after hearing Lin Cha's words, he did not take the small official boat that looked majestic and gorgeous. It would be better to get here and have to get off the boat and waste time.

There are also dangerous shoals and deep valleys in the Nanliu River. Fortunately, most of the boatmen are locals and serve salt ships in peacetime. Every time they arrive, they can find local people to help. The royal army enters Guangxi in five days. When they arrive in Yulinzhou, they are on a flat terrain, so they are even better off.

The King of Rescue set up the second logistics point here, dividing Ding Zhuang, who was accompanying the army, into two parts. One part continued to transport food and military supplies from Hepu Port to Yulin Prefecture, and the other part, together with the recruited porters, carried the military supplies and passed through Tianmen Pass to Beiliu County.

Both rivers originated in Yulinzhou, one flowed south and the other flowed north, so there were two rivers. When they arrived in the north, they wanted to go down the river, but only then did they find out that the ship had been recruited by Ding Kuichu. This guy was not too stupid. He knew that the stronger his strength, the more chips he had, he collected the ships and used the Guangdong soldiers at hand to fight with Du Yonghe, the general under Li Chengdong. Like many rivers and rivers, the upstream was easy to win, then pursue, then ambush, and then defeated.

After learning the news, Wu Mu led his troops to pursue him immediately. Lin Chaze led the people behind the palace. Hong Tianzhuo took the initiative to follow Wu Mu and vowed to capture and kill Ding Kuichu. When he arrived in Cenxi, he realized that after Ding Kuichu was defeated in Nanliujiang, he was huddling in Cenxi City. Du Yonghe led more than 500 cavalry soldiers to siege Cenxi. There were thousands of Guangzhou soldiers in Cenxi City, but he did not dare to fight.

"What should the general think of this situation?" Hong Tianzhuo asked. Not to mention that he could not command Wu Mu, he would not dare to act rashly even if he was commanding. Hong Tianzhuo was not a talented general. He was in trouble with bandits in Wuchang that year, and he was helpless and wanted to retire.

Wu Mu laughed and said, "Thousands of Green Camp soldiers, what's the point? Sir, let's see if I defeat these Green Camp soldiers, let's enter Cenxi City again."

"Okay, after entering the city, don't be polite. In the name of seeking traitors, I will first capture Ding Kuichu." Hong Tianzhuo said clenched his fists.

This surprised Umu. Wumu grinned and said, "Don't you argue with him?"

Hong Tianzhuo said: "Although he has not surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, he has had this idea for a long time. If he had not had the wealth of greed, he could have spared his life and returned home. But now the country is in trouble, so the stolen money is better to use it to detain the captives!"
