Shi Lang's surrender was overjoyed. The soldiers around Lin Yi all knew that there were not many people who could make them so attentive to the Prison Lord. Accepting Li Yan and accepting Shi Lang, Lin Yi all showed the emperor's heart, and the generals only saw from him that they were thirsty for talent.

At this time, Xiao Ying Zhezhe pulled to the side and whispered: "Zheng Damu, the son of the pseudo-emperor Zheng Zhilong, killed Shi Lang's brother, but Shi Lang was not moved, why did Lord Lin Yi send someone to move Shi Lang's family, and he surrendered smoothly?" Is a family reunion more convincing than the loss of a brother? ”

Zhezhe is good at observation and thinking, and generally does not speak easily, especially on this occasion, but Xiaoying is different, this is a person who is easy to express, he can't hide things in his heart, he is straightforward, he will say whatever he wants, and he never hides it, and their eldest brother Lin seems to like her.

Zhezhe flashed slowly, thinking about it, "Sister, the one named Shi Xian lost the city, and he should be beheaded according to the law, and Zheng Damu's subordinate Zeng De was killed by mistake, and Zheng Zhilong, who Shi Lang wanted to betray because of this incident, was all mouthed for gold and destroyed the bones." Shi Lang and his family enjoy the favor of Zheng Zhilong, and they are the great commander of the Southern Army, even if they have a rebellion on this matter, they dare not move, after all, the mouth of the world is long, and more importantly, his family is still in the mouth of the tiger, he will not take the life of the whole family because of his own Gou'an, so what kind of person is he Shi Lang? The brother is dead, and it is impossible to recover it no matter what. And now it's different, the family is reunited, there are no worries, if he doesn't surrender, will he continue to work hard for the Zheng family? …… I'm not necessarily right. ”

Seeing that Xiaoying was fascinated by what she heard, she only felt that her words were a little too much today, so she quickly changed her words.

Xiao Ying couldn't stop nodding in admiration, "You're so right...... No wonder Brother Lin deliberately arranged for someone to disguise himself to bring back the old and young of Shi Lang's family, didn't this become the straw...... How did that come about? What did Brother Lin say? ”

Xiao Ying wanted to quote what Lin Yi said here, but she couldn't say what she meant.

"The straw that broke the camel's back." Zhezhe reminded with a smile.

"Oh yes, yes, the straw that broke the camel's back." Xiao Ying repeated this sentence while pointing at Zhezhe with her hand, staring at her exaggerated big eyes, and said thoughtfully, "Wow, our big brother Lin values the great commander, but I didn't expect to be seen through by you little girl liar." ”

Zhezhe glanced at her, "My sister is making fun of me again, which is what I saw Chuan, is it Brother Lin who sees through it?" ”

"So, you saw through Brother Lin?" Xiaoying smiled and played with taste.

"Sister, don't talk nonsense, otherwise next time, you won't know anything." Zhezhe's little face flushed, and he pouted his little pink mouth.

"You dare." Xiao Ying tilted her head, full of domineering......

Shi Lang submitted to Lin Yi in this way, and it also caused a chain reaction. Shi Fu, the general of the Battle of Zhenjiang, also surrendered, he is Shi Lang's uncle, Shi Lang's father Shi Daxuan's brother, a few days ago he still swore not to surrender, a generous look to die, now Lin Yi brought all their family from Nan'an, Fujian, Shi Fu knelt down to Lin Yi without saying a word.

These are all the backbone figures of Zheng Zhilong Group, and Lin Yi is of course happy. For the sake of his surname Shi, he didn't kill him in Zhenjiang at the beginning, so it seems that it is right to keep him, and there is one more general and one less enemy general.

Jiangyin has achieved a lot of results in this battle, and not to mention how many thief armies were annihilated, and the various spoils obtained are not counted, the key is to receive Shi Lang, Shi Fu, Zheng Cai, Zheng Lian and other four generals, and even Zheng Zhilong's son surrendered, and its influence is all over the hurricane earthquake.

Lin Yi was so happy, on the spot added Shi Lang as the commander of the expedition to the south and the front commander of the Ming royal naval division, which was completely reversed with Zheng Zhilong's title of the commander of the expedition to the north, and added Shi Fu as the general of Zhenjiang, and the army listened to Shi Lang's general, and Lin Yi also fulfilled his promise to Zheng Cai and Zheng Lian's brothers, so that they were reinstated as Shi Lang's deputy general and guerrilla commander.

Instead of being replaced, the four generals knelt on the ground, grateful. The court is really gracious, they committed such a serious crime, according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, beheading is the lightest, and they are even sentenced to death, raiding homes and destroying doors, and digging ancestral graves.

However, Lin Yi is not to blame them for the past in a word, and they are such high-ranking officials, they can only swear allegiance to Lin Yi, the lord of the prison country, and swear allegiance to the Ming Dynasty.

Some people clean up the battlefield and dispose of the spoils of war, and some record meritorious service for each meritorious soldier.

Then Lin Yi passed down the edict and rewarded the three armies in a big way, in Jiangyin County, even the water division battalion brought the soldiers and horses on the shore to reward them. From a pawn in the army to a commander, everyone has a share. A large bowl of wine and square meat, sitting on the ground, making fist orders, is very lively.

So far, the army that Zheng Zhilong handed over to Shi Lang and Shi Fu includes tens of thousands of water divisions, and when they hit the Zhenjiang area, it was like a river breaking off, which was completely wiped out, and all the rest were reorganized into the Ming army except for the tens of thousands of dead and wounded horses.

Of course, these Southern Army soldiers and generals also dreamed that they were captured by the Ming army and killed nine lives, but they did not expect that because of the disaster, not only did they not kill, not beat and not punished, but also so generous, let them change their military uniforms, and turn into soldiers of the Ming army.

That's a huge bargain. It is more shocking than Zheng Zhilong's accession to the throne as the emperor and the amnesty of the world. It seems that the Ming Dynasty is still good! You know, you have already come to surrender......

These captives of the Southern Army were all overjoyed, and they all woke up laughing in their sleep.

In this way, Lin Yi's army increased by tens of thousands of horses, together with the several battalions he brought over, in addition to supplementing the attrition of war casualties, it was like a snowball, even counting the troops in Zhenjiang and Jiangyin, and suddenly added tens of thousands of soldiers and horses.

During this period, the troops of King Qin from all over the vicinity also concentrated in this area.

Now the soldiers and horses that Lin Yi can directly mobilize in Zhenjiang and Jiangyin, including those on the shore and the water division, are no less than 300,000.

And because of the surrender of Shi Lang and other four generals, these cities along the river that their army originally took were left behind to run and surrender after receiving the news. From Jiangyin to Chongming Island, in the entire Yangtze River basin, the rebels for hundreds of miles either came and surrendered, or abandoned their positions, and all fled from the wind.

Lin Yi then sent troops to take over these places, and then asked the Jingshi cabinet to send local officials to protect the people.

Next, Lin Yi still divided his troops into two routes, and he ordered the men and horses on the shore to advance the battle line to the south under the leadership of Jiangyin Sangong and Shi Fu and other generals. Attack Huainan and Jiangsu and Zhejiang from Jianghuai, then Lin Yi and Shi Lang formed a fleet of 50,000 sailors, and more than 400 warships, including the destroyer Yang Wei, went down the river, entered the sea through the estuary, and then attacked the rebels in Jiangsu and Zhejiang from the east coast.

The 20,000 horses on the shore are still Lin Yi's 6 battalions, these 20,000 horses are the descendants of Lin Yi's cultivated troops, and they are the most elite troops in the Ming Dynasty.

The commanding generals of the 20,000 horses are still Wang Jian, Dongsheng, Zhang Hua, etc., as long as Lin Yi abandons the ship and lands on the shore, the 20,000 horses will immediately escort him.

At present, the Ming army in the west, north and east has formed a semi-encirclement of several provinces of the southern army on the whole, and the large armies of all walks of life together have nearly 600,000 people fighting against the southern army.

Together with the entourage on the shore, Lin Yi's 70,000 horses went all the way down the river, all the way unimpeded, and soon reached the estuary.

Lin Yi knew that when he arrived at sea, it was the time for the Yang Wei giant ship to really exert its power.

Shi Lang, Zheng Cai, and Zheng Lian took more than 100 naval division warships to open the way for Lin Yi in front, and Lin Yi led more than 200 battleships of the Yangwei giant ship formation as the main force of the naval division, and then followed up.

The vast sea area, the blue waves, the clear blue sky, the heart is refreshing, the boat sails on the sea, overcoming the thorns and waves, this is far from being comparable in the Yangtze River.

Lin Yi stood on the bow of the giant ship, holding a telescope and admiring the sea scenery near and far. Behind him, Xiao Ying, Zhezhe, Su Moer and other three or four hundred marines, accompanied by escorts, together with the battleship formation, formed a beautiful sea and sky marching map.

When Lin Yi's mighty and majestic fleet sailed along the coast to the southern waters of Zhoushan Island in Zhejiang, suddenly a fleet could be seen through a telescope on the sea in the distance, waving the flag of the Dutch Navy.

His subordinates immediately inquired about Shi Lang, who saw through the telescope the Dutch merchant ship formation, escorted by several Dutch military ships.

"Stop them now!"

"Great Commander, isn't that right?"

Shi Lang understood what his subordinate generals meant, these Mao Hongzi's fleets had paid tolls, but that was what they handed over to Zheng Zhilong, and now Zheng Zhilong is an enemy of the Ming Dynasty, and Zheng Jun gave them permission to go, but when they meet the navy of the Ming Dynasty, this pass will not work!

"What's wrong, the Great Commander will report this matter to the Lord of the Prison Country, our fleet is ready for artillery fire, signal them to stop, and they dare to sink them all." Shi Lang's face was resolute and resolute.

"No."

As soon as his subordinates agreed, he immediately passed on his order, and more than a hundred warships immediately formed a battle formation and stopped the Dutch fleet.

"Bali...... Wuli ...... "......The fleets of both sides were approaching, and soon both sides were within range of each other's artillery.

Now the soldiers on the ships in front of them, the naked eye can also see this Dutch fleet, Bai Huahua's piece, at least forty or fifty ships, the merchant ships are mostly in the middle, the Dutch warships are in front of and on both sides, this Dutch ship is completely different from the ships of the Ming Dynasty, the color and flag are very distinct, the sails are many and big, and the piece of Bai Huahua is very majestic from a distance.

At this time, the battleships of the Ming army in front of them raised flags, and artillery fired warning shots into the sky, telling them to stop immediately.

But the Dutch fleet did not give a warning to the Ming at all, and the warships opened the way and continued to advance, treating the Ming fleet as if it were nothing.

"What about the Great Commander?" Before Lin Yi's order arrived, his subordinate generals asked Shi Lang.

"This is the sea area of the Ming Dynasty, how can these red-haired people be allowed to show off their might? Stop, you must not let the red hairs pass! ”

Shi Lang gave an order, and Daming's ships quickly formed a wall on the sea, across the front of the Dutch fleet.

"Knock...... Boom...... "The Dutch warship at the front suddenly opened fire.
