Xiao Ying sneered: "Li Dingguo is very shrewd, but isn't his brain in water?" He would rather surrender to Zheng Zhilong than come to surrender to the Ming Dynasty, he is too ignorant of current affairs! Probably he never dreamed that if it weren't for Brother Lin, he would still be on death row in Beijing with his godfather Zhang Xianzhong! ”

Zhezhe also followed to help, "This person is too hateful, Brother Lin has been captured twice and two vertically, he is still evil, and if he catches him again, he will be broken into thousands of pieces, and his house will be destroyed!" ”

Lin Yi shook his head with a smile, "Li Dingguo, the thieves, Zheng Zhilong, the pirates, the thieves and the pirates are in the same stream, this is also understandable, there is no need to make a fuss." ”

Lin Yi talked and laughed vigorously, and seemed to have no hatred for Li Dingguo's defection to Zheng Zhilong.

Xiao Ying and Zhezhe looked at each other, their expressions were a little complicated, Lin Yi set up tricks for Gao Guiying and Li Yan thousands of miles away, captured Li Dingguo alive for the second time, and fished Zhang Xianzhong out of Sichuan and caught them together, on the way to send their godfather and son to Beijing, Lin Yi ordered someone to secretly create an opportunity for Li Dingguo to let him escape, and now that trouble is coming, doesn't Brother Lin regret it at all? This thing......

The two beauties shook their heads incessantly.

For this famous general of Nanming, Li Dingguo, Lin Yi has long been strategic, and so far, Lin Yi has been dealing with him for a long time.

Lin Yi had a perception of his fame before he crossed over, and his evaluation of him in history was relatively high, which was completely different from Sun Kewang and others, not to mention that they were all Zhang Xianzhong's godsons, and they both had an extremely important influence on the Daxi regime and the Nanming government, but the two of them walked out of a completely different path.

Sun Kewang finally surrendered to the Manchu Tartars, became a traitor and lackey, and became the royal tool of the Manchus to massacre and enslave the Han Chinese.

In the face of national righteousness, Li Dingguo united with Li Zicheng's old department, and even regardless of his previous suspicions, united with Nanming and Zheng Chenggong to establish a broad anti-Qing national united front, and from anti-Ming to Fuming, he embarked on a road of iron-clad national heroes.

Therefore, some historians deserve to characterize Li Dingguo as a patriotic general and a national hero.

This is, of course, the rational understanding that Lin Yi gained from book knowledge and film and television novels before the crossing, and after crossing over, he has also had many contacts with Li Dingguo over the years, and he can even be said to be an old opponent who has been dealing with him for a long time.

Therefore, Lin Yi had a deep impression of Li Dingguo and was quite good, but it was the opposite for Sun Kewang, of course, his crossing also changed the historical fate of Li Dingguo and Sun Kewang, and now it seems that Sun Kewang has no chance to surrender to the Manchu Qing Dynasty as a traitor lackey, and Li Dingguo has no chance to support the Southern Ming Dynasty to establish a national united front and resist the Qing Dynasty.

But whether a person's quality is good or bad is not necessarily reflected by a specific thing, it should be reflected by many things.

So far, Lin Yi has not found that Li Dingguo does not have any reactionary nature, as for being a thief against the Ming Dynasty, it is just under specific historical conditions, with different positions and different paths, it is understandable to become a king or defeat a thief.

This is Lin Yi's vision of a traverser, of course, this kind of vision is beyond history, and it is beyond the comprehension and speculation of those people in reality in the Ming Dynasty.

This shows that history has not misremembered Li Dingguo.

But since Lin Yi crossed over, he was labeled, this chess game has been decided, and the two of them are born opponents. Heroes cherish each other, of course Lin Yi can't bear to hurt.

But not harming does not mean that it cannot be used, so there is a battle of Xiangyang, after Lin Yi captured Li Dingguo alive, he exchanged him for Zhang Xianzhong's 640,000 taels of silver, so that Junzhou captured Li Dingguo and gave him a chance to escape in Tiger Prison Pass on the way to Beijing.

No one can figure out what Lin Yi thinks, how easy is it for a court bandit like Li Dingguo to catch him? And Lin Yi actually wanted to let him go again and again in this way, as if it was child's play, especially the last time was equivalent to unconditional release, and he also asked him to go back and fight with Sun Kewang, disintegrate the remnants of Daxi's forces, and annihilate them together.

This trick looks ingenious, but it is extremely dangerous, and only Lin Yi dares to play it with a big hand!

Now Li Dingguo has completed the mission of disintegrating the remnants of Daxi, but now the trouble is coming, and he has taken refuge in Zheng Zhilong!

But Lin Yi didn't think so at all, and while talking and laughing, he asked his subordinate Li Dingguo's strength?

Someone replied: "Returning to the prison country, Li Dingguo's strength is strong, and he is not inferior to Sun Kewang." After Li Dingguo and Sun Kewang split, he pulled a team to occupy Guizhou, recruiting troops and buying horses, he is still playing the banner of the Great Western Army, because he has a good way of governing the army, won the hearts of the people, and soon has more than 100,000 people, his people can conquer the people who are used to fighting in addition to Li Dingguo, there is also Wang Zhaolin, this is Zhang Xianzhong when he was the emperor of the left prime minister, now Li Dingguo's think tank, in addition to Liu Wenxiu, this person is also one of Zhang Xianzhong's godsons, because of his merit was named the king of Funan, good at water warfare, and Zhang Hualong, He was the commander of the right army, one of the five armies before Zhang Xianzhong became emperor, and he also had the courage to be unstoppable......"

Lin Yi nodded after listening, Li Dingguo's strength should indeed not be underestimated. For the rebellion in the southeast sea frontier, Lin Yi has long wanted to clean up Zheng Zhilong and them, he had no time to look east before, and now he finally freed his hands, this time he pacified Yungui and conquered Burma, saving himself from moving back to Beijing, starting directly from here, and leveling Zheng Zhilong in the southeast, this is a figure who is also a businessman, an official and a thief, the tree has deep roots, black and white, Chongzhen had no way to take him when he was there, and he could take the Dutch Navy, known as the overlord of the sea, down in terms of strength. Now with the addition of Li Dingguo, it is tricky enough.

But more than once, Lin Yi's crusade also has a strategic purpose, which is to restore sovereignty over the entertainment city and the treasure island of Taiwan.

Of course, Lin Yi knew that these two places had actually been occupied by the Western powers.

The entertainment city was leased by Portugal in the mid-16th century, and the reigning emperor was Ming Shizong Zhu Houxuan, that is, Emperor Jiajing.

It should be said that the early Jiajing Emperor is still a very effective emperor, he reigned for 46 years, the early period of hard work, but in the later period of extravagance, courtiers are not rich, Portugal and Spain at that time are continental maritime powers, the country is ambitious, ready to divide the world, everywhere to divide colonies and spheres of influence, and finally they found that there are still China and cherry blossom country in this world, and China is boundless, so Spain ran to Taiwan, China, Portugal ran to the entertainment city. Thinking that these are two pieces of fat that China has dispensable, they intend to take a bite.

But Portugal is very cunning, not as arrogant as Spain, killing people everywhere and setting fires, forcibly leviing rents, and implementing a policy of enslavement, he is very low-key, also because the entertainment city is very close to the mainland, and the Ming Dynasty court was mediocre at that time, but they knew that this was a sleepy Oriental sleeping lion, and once they woke up, they would swallow them in one gulp.

Therefore, Portugal signed a lend-lease agreement with the Jiajing government to do business here, and on the surface it also supported the work of the Ming Dynasty magistrates, and earned huge profits from here, the emperor ignored the government and the magistrates did not act, so the Ming Emperor died decades later, replaced by Longqing, reigned for only seven years, and there was nothing earth-shattering to cry ghosts and gods, Portugal has been renting here.

Later, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was replaced by Wanli, that is, the one who did not go to court for twenty or thirty years in history, but the emperor of Wanli was not simple, the famous Wanli three major expeditions will be immortalized in the annals of history, Zhang Juzheng, Qi Jiguang and other celebrities have come out in succession. The Ming Dynasty 276 years is not counted as the Southern Ming Dynasty, a total of sixteen emperors, but there are not many emperors who have made a difference, the Wanli Emperor is one of them, he has a comparison with the Jiajing Emperor, both of them have a longer reign, both of them have been in power for more than 40 years, and they are all early hard work, and the later period is extravagant.

But many people think that the decline of the Ming Dynasty began with Wanli, because not only the three major expeditions were carried out during the Wanli period, but at least five wars, in addition to the three major expeditions, there were also the Battle of China and Burma and the Battle of Salhu, both of which were actually defeated by the Ming Dynasty, and it goes without saying that the Ming Dynasty was defeated in a mess, which led to the rise of the Later Jin Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty, and became the gravedigger of the Ming Dynasty. Although the scale of the Sino-Burmese war was not large, it lasted for a long time and won and lost each other, but in the end, the war was over, which directly led to the independence of Burma, and gave a large territory that belonged to the Ming Dynasty to Burma, which was China's territory before Wanli. Therefore, it is also reasonable to say that the decline of the Ming Dynasty began in Wanli.

Portugal can still adapt to the ups and downs of the emperor, Wanli has changed several emperors after that, and the Portuguese colonists can still respond to all changes with the same, so the emperor of the Ming Dynasty has changed one term after another, and the Portuguese colonists have been relying on the entertainment city to stay, just like the old man who borrowed money and didn't pay it back.

Now that Lin Yi is in charge of the country, this matter must not be ignored.

Then there is China's treasure island Taiwan, the island of Taiwan is lonely overseas, and the emperors of the Ming Dynasty who have made achievements are also beyond the reach of the whip, not to mention those mediocre kings, the residents and magistrates on the island are powerless to confront the colonial powers after all, and they have been repeated, relying on not leaving, and now the colonists on the island of Taiwan have changed, and the Dutch have driven away the Spanish.

But these Dutch red-haired people have been more than the Spaniards, and they have intensified, burning, killing, looting, and doing all kinds of evil. aroused a strong resistance from the island's residents, but it was to no avail after all, and now the Netherlands took advantage of the Ming civil war to continue to take care of overseas opportunities, wantonly increased the army, warships and merchant ships increased from a few hundred to thousands now, and the garrison increased tenfold from a few thousand to 50,000 people, building castles and other military facilities on the island, it is obvious that they are not leaving, as the Ming government authorities, Lin Yi of course can not ignore.

This time, Lin Yi leveled the southeast sea frontier, and also planned Portugal and the Netherlands, and when he cleaned up Zheng Zhilong, he decided to stew them with a spoonful.

However, in order to clean up these reactionary forces at home and abroad, it is necessary to have a strong navy, Lin Yi calculated that he planned a one-year journey to pacify the southwest, and now it only took 8 months, a full 4 months earlier than the original plan, and his plan to train the navy and build a ship was completed within a year, because Lin Yi completed the strategic task of pacifying the southwest ahead of schedule, the training of the navy and the construction of ships seemed to lag behind.

But Lin Yi must not wait in the past few months, because now that Li Dingguo has joined, Zheng Zhilong's power has doubled, and he must step up his plan to strengthen the army, which is to carry out the Ming special fighters to the end.

Under Lin Yi's strategy, after training and actual combat, after several tempering, the current women's battalion has the characteristics of special soldiers, and the physical fitness of these more than 300 female battalion soldiers is needless to say, immediately charge, step fighting, horseback riding, archery, firearms, everything, but the ability in the water is still a shortcoming.

Now he plans to train for another three months, specializing in training on ships and launching operations, and then the Ming Marine Corps will be ready to come out.

Again, the 200,000 army couldn't wait, so Lin Yi immediately assigned generals to launch an annihilation operation based on land warfare.

Specifically, the soldiers were divided into two routes, one was with Wang Mu Tianbo of Yunnan as the commander, and Song Xiance as the military division, giving them 100,000 troops as the North Route Army, pointing at Guizhou, and cooperating with the soldiers and horses of Jiangxi and Hunan to attack Zheng Zhilong's department and Li Dingguo's department. In addition to Yunnan Tusi Sha Dingzhou, the generals of this army also include Li Guo, Li Laiheng, Gao Yigong, Tian Jianxiu, Ma Xianglin, Ma Wannian, Qin Jiming, etc.

The second road is led by Gao Guiying, Li Yan is the military division, and the soldiers and horses are also 100,000, they are the southern route army, pointing to Liangguang and Fujian, and the generals who accompany the soldiers and horses on this road are Zu Keyong, Liu Fangliang, Yuan Zongdi, and the Mongolian generals Minmin Muter, Tieshu Buhua, Subutai, etc.

The two armies of 200,000 set off from the China-Myanmar border all the way north and all the way east.

After these two groups left, Lin Yi started his Marine Corps training program, and he chose a place along the coast of Guangxi.

Now most of Guangxi has fallen into the hands of Li Dingguo and Zheng Zhilong, because Li Dingguo took refuge in Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Zhilong is very happy, Li Dingguo's reputation of course he has heard of it for a long time, knowing that this is one of the best figures under Zhang Xianzhong, who can recruit the talents of generals who are accustomed to war, to take refuge in him, Zheng Zhilong is employing people, there are more than 100,000 soldiers and horses for such a tiger general, of course he can't ask for it.

Zheng Zhilong personally met with Li Dingguo, and immediately crowned Li Dingguo as the great commander, expressing his respect and trust for his hundreds of thousands of troops and did not change any movement, and sent his son Zheng Damu to Li Dingguo as a deputy general, Zheng Damu with 20,000 Zheng Jiajun pulled a large amount of money and grain as a reward, and then they joined forces and led the headquarters to sweep Guangxi.

Before Lin Yi's soldiers and horses arrived in Guangxi, the troops here were of course the old army of the Ming Dynasty, and they couldn't resist the attack of Li Dingguo and Zheng Damu, Zheng Damu was the national hero Zheng Chenggong in later generations. Therefore, Li Dingguo and Zheng Damu, more than 100,000 horses, fought from Guizhou to Guangxi, and within a month, the rebels occupied almost the entire Guangxi, leaving only a few counties in the west and south.

Lin Yi took a fancy to these counties and wanted to use them as his Marine Corps training base. After the Ming army was dispatched, Lin Yi took a total of 20,000 horses from the standard battalion, the invincible battalion, the guard battalion and the women's battalion, as well as the Jinyi Guard, accompanied by the governor of Guangxi, to the Lianzhou Mansion, which was later Beihai City, Guangxi Province.
