Su Li, the general soldier of Jieshi, was originally a person from the eastern boundary of Raoping County, Chaozhou Prefecture, and avoided the Yellow Sea like a military disaster in his early years, and lived in Haifeng County, Huizhou Prefecture. After the fall of the Chongzhen Dynasty, the Ming court's ability to control the grassroots was greatly reduced, and the Chaohui and local bandits competed, and Su Li fought with the Jieshiwei local tyrants at that time, and the fighting was endless, so that the people were not able to make a living.

Later, the people of Jieshiwei sneaked out and invited Su Cheng, a Fujian pirate nicknamed "Six-eyed Gong". After Su Cheng arrived, he aimed the spearhead at Su Li, who was defeated and defeated, and soon after he switched to Su Cheng's command and became one of Su Cheng's generals.

In August of the first year of Hongguang, Ming Jieshi Wei commanded Zhang Mingzhen to divide the Acropolis, and Hehuilai bandits Lin Heng and Lin Yaodou robbed the East China Sea. Su Chengyang conspired with him, took advantage of his unpreparedness, attacked and killed Zhang Mingzhen, captured the Jieshi Acropolis, and in the following year or two, he successively captured Jiazimen and Jiesheng, which once threatened Haifeng County.

In the first month of the second year of Yongli, Su Cheng fell ill, and Su Li took the opportunity to assassinate him and became the new leader of this bandit. It was in April of this year that Chen Kai and Zheng Chenggong entered Chaozhou and began their strategy of raiding the Chaozhou government.

In the following years, Su Li fought with the Ming army and captured the county seat of Haifeng. When the strategic focus of the Ming army shifted, he even captured the county seat of Huilai and Jinghai, killed Zheng Chenggong's generals Lu Jue and Zhixian Wang Huizhi, and expanded the control area to a large area between the Lotus Mountains and the coastline, thus becoming the most important local force in Guangdong Province.

The area controlled by Su Li was roughly Shanwei City, Lufeng City, Haifeng County and Huilai County, with nearly 10,000 soldiers, and there was no way to compare with the Ming army with the Ordnance Bureau in terms of weapons and armor, but it also had a lot of advantages over the surrounding bandits and bandits.

Since the capture of Huilai County, the battle between Su Li and the Ming army is concentrated at the junction of Huilai and Puning counties, either Su Li crossed the Danan Mountain to attack the Ming army, or the Ming army crossed the Danan Mountain to launch a counterattack, the two sides won and lost, the Ming army was more elite, but most of the time, with the strength of the people, Su Li can always play an undefeated result, so no one can help anyone.

Su Li concentrated nearly 6,000 troops on the front line of Huilai, and the strength of the Ming army in Puning was only half of his. However, between the two counties, it is not conducive to the large-scale deployment of troops, and Su Li has wanted to take advantage of Chaoyang several times, whether it is to attack Chenghai County or Puning County, this is the best way. It's a pity that Chen Bin's defense against him is not inferior to that of the Ming army, or even better, and he can't do anything by chance.

A few days later, Chen's letter arrived at Su Li's desk. The content is nothing more than agreeing to borrow the Tao, but for a long time before, Chen Bin's attitude towards it still made Su Li remember it vividly, and at this moment, he had some doubts.

"What do you want to get out of this big slap?"

This is the biggest question in Su Li's mind, even if it was him who asked Chen Bin to borrow earlier, but now, this question cannot be answered, and he will never dare to send troops easily.

Su Li was born as a bandit and couldn't read, and at this moment, the letter was sent, just like Chen Bin, he wanted to find a document to write, and he also found a literate old master to read it to him. At this moment, Su Li confessed his doubts, and the old master hurriedly flipped through the letter, read it carefully, and then gave an answer.

"The owner, do you think this big slap was forced by the old prince to be anxious?"

The old master read the words that he thought were a little greasy, and when Su Li heard it, he closed his eyes and thought about it, and he always felt a little compelled to do so.

The old prince refers to Shang Kexi, and now the military and political power of Guangdong Province is in his hands. Since the capture of Guangzhou, the Qing army swept through western Guangdong, Zhaoqing, Luodingzhou, Gaozhou, Lianzhou, and Leizhou were pacified, and the entire ground in western Guangdong was left with a self-contained Qiongzhou Mansion still struggling to support.

Although the Qing army was said to be dominant on land, Qiongzhou had a strait as a shield, and the sailors were vertical and horizontal, and from time to time they attacked Gaozhou and other places. On the side of the Qing army, due to the fiasco of the Pearl River Water Battle, the sailor was so weak that it was almost non-existent, and even Ling Dingyang did not dare to set foot in it, but he had always taken the Ming army in Qiongzhou Mansion without a good way.

This is already the case in western Guangdong, but Chaozhou in eastern Guangdong is connected by land with the Qing army-occupied areas. Shang Kexi issued several documents, asking Hao Shangjiu, Su Li, Huang Yingjie and Chen Bin to launch a more ferocious offensive against Chaozhou and drive the Ming army out of the border of Guangdong as soon as possible. So far, only Hao Shangjiu has successfully captured Chengxiang County, and they are still unable to advance an inch.

Among these four people, Huang Yingjie is only the stamina, and the three of them are still gratifying pioneers. Now that Hao Shangjiu has taken the lead, the pressure they are facing has naturally increased greatly. This point, not only Chen Bin, Su Li felt more deeply. Not to mention, Shang Kexi ordered again and again, but the dissatisfaction in his tone was getting heavier and heavier, if he couldn't even see this, then it was called fresh.

Listening to the old master's talk here, Su Li also nodded silently: "Some time ago, I sent someone to Guangzhou, and Mr. Jin beside the old prince had a mouth, saying that the old prince and the little prince were a little impatient, and planned to personally bring the feudal troops to attack Chaozhou...... Now, it is nothing more than that the feudal soldiers set out from Liaodong and went all the way south, and it took more than a year on the road, and then they fought hard for a year after arriving in Guangdong, and the officers and men in the army are still enjoying the wealth and glory of Guangzhou, and lack the motivation to send troops. But if it drags on for a long time, it really attracts the feudal soldiers, and those insatiable guys will spit out a piece of meat if we don't get it. ”

The central government's suppression of local forces is inevitable, not to mention that Shang Geng's second feudal domain was originally the native emperor who took care of Guangdong Province for the Qing court.

The territory of one guard, two institutes and two counties is not very big, but Su Li does not want to be slaughtered, and further expansion of the territory is necessary, so he expropriates in the existing occupied areas, so as to expand the size of the army and continue to launch offensives in the areas controlled by the Ming army. Now, Chen Bin's side seems to be under pressure and wants to join forces with him, but this is a great opportunity.

"I remember that my husband once said a word, what is it called false Dao Va?"

"It's a false way, the owner."

"That's right, it's Felling." Speaking of this, a trace of cruelty flashed on Su Li's face, and he immediately said: "Repair the book, tell the big slap, I agree to the matter of joining forces." As for the distribution of the gains after the defeat of the pirates, it is also as he said—the territory of Puning belongs to me, and the goods belong to him; The territory of Chenghai belongs to him, and the goods belong to me. But in terms of capture, I will take more, because I have more soldiers. Well, so be it."
