The battle lasted less than half an hour before it ended, more than 500 pirates, one or two hundred people were killed and wounded, except for a few die-hard elements, the rest surrendered one after another, and the officers and soldiers entered Dahao Island and went out to settle the people.

In this battle, the officers and soldiers made brilliant achievements and gained great fame, not only obtaining more than 500,000 taels of gold, silver, jewelry, and tens of thousands of stones, grains and grass accumulated by Xu Long, as well as hundreds of sea ships of all sizes, but also played a great deterrent role in other separatists.

After the military exploits were reported to Emperor Zhu Youlang, Zhu Youlang's joy was overflowing, and Gao Lixun and his Zhenhai division really did not disappoint him!

He immediately issued an order to the officials, and the Second Soldier Department distributed enough silver medals and honors for meritorious service, as well as swords and swords to reward military merits, and with a stroke of the pen, half of the more than 600,000 taels of gold, silver and jewelry captured by the thieves and pirates were set aside as a reward for more than 15,000 officers and soldiers on land and water.

After the meritorious envoy distributed the promotion and the gold and silver of Baihuahua to each soldier, the whole army knelt down to thank the emperor, and the morale of each one was greatly boosted.

On the one hand, Jiao Lian and Gao Lixun's land and water armies were resting in Dahao's garrison, and on the other hand, taking advantage of the great victory, they sent envoys to fly to various places to appease those heroes who dominated one side to return to the Ming Dynasty and accept the reorganization of the imperial court.

Chenghai Yang Guang, Haishan Zhu Yao and other heroes knew that they could not fight against the army of the imperial court, and successively led their troops to submit to the Ming Dynasty and accept the reorganization of the imperial court.

However, Zhang Li, a Haikou who was in Chaoyang Horseshoe Crab Bay, did not cry when he saw the coffin, and refused to be appeased by the imperial court. Gao Lixun, the commander-in-chief, immediately led 7,000 sailors to the horseshoe crab bay to kill, and with absolute superiority in troops and equipment, he broke through the two water villages of Haikou in one day, killed and injured hundreds of pirates, and destroyed dozens of ships, forcing Zhang Li to bow down and lead the people to surrender.

In less than a month, Jiao Lian and Gao Lixun basically wiped out the unclear and powerful forces in various parts of Chaozhou, seized more than 3 million taels of gold and silver, more than 160,000 stones of coarse and fine grain, and more than 300 large and small sea vessels, which surrendered tens of thousands.

After the army marched into Chaoyang. Chaoyang Zhixian Chang Feng opened the city gate to greet him personally.

The people of Chaoyang flocked out to welcome the imperial army into Chaoyang. A group of eight soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, lined up in a neat line, under the leadership of Jiao Lian and Gao Lixun, drove into Chaoyang with high spirits.

Chaoyang County has a long history, the first year of Long'an in the Eastern Jin Dynasty [397 AD] is the county, there is no scorching heat in summer, no severe cold in winter, the climate is mild, it is a famous rich place. Seeing the rich and treasured land of Chaoyang, Jiao Lian's generals were in a very good mood, and accompanied by Chang Feng, the county magistrate, frequently expressed their gratitude to the people who welcomed them along the way.

During the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, although the northern provinces and roads were made into a pot of porridge, Chaoyang, which is located in the southeast of Guangdong, has never been ravaged by war, and all industries are prosperous, the market is prosperous, whether it is food or other goods, it is very abundant.

However, as the Qing army moved south to capture Guangdong, the war gradually spread to Chaoyang, and the people of Chaoyang were prepared for danger in times of peace and were very supportive of the Son of Heaven's pro-army who were determined to resist the Tartars.

After the army was stationed in Chaoyang, Jiao Lian and others reported the victory while flying to the chapter, and on the other hand, they recruited prisoners of the reorganized and surrendered army, and obtained more than 7,000 marine and land soldiers, because the town navy had very strict requirements for the selection of sailors and battalions, and less than 1,000 qualified soldiers who met the requirements in all aspects, and the remaining 6,000 surrendered troops were enriched into the box camp of Li Yuanyin's department, causing the strength of Li Yuanyin's command to swell from less than 4,000 to 10,000 at once.

Except for the 20% of the gold and silver and money and food that were captured, which were used as rewards for the armies, military salaries and rations, and expenses for the reorganization of soldiers, and the elimination of the old and weak, the rest were sent by holy decree to escort all the ships to the capital.

Because the amount of gold, silver and grain was too much, Gao Lixun used more than fifty sea ships to fill it, and he seemed to be able to see the shocked expression of Yan Qiheng, the head of the household department, after seeing so much gold, silver and grain, this was definitely a huge amount of floating wealth that he and the imperial court did not expect! (Haoqiang and Haikou in Guangdong are heavily involved in coastal smuggling, east-west trade, and the amount of goods accumulated over the years is obviously very large, and the swordsman is still talking about conservative data here)

It has been less than three days since the imperial court soldiers and horses were stationed in Chaoyang, and the good news has come again!

Jiao Lian and Gao Lixun, the two generals of the army, were pleasantly surprised to receive the news that Chen Bao, the former commander-in-chief of Nanao Island, sent an envoy to join the Yongli Imperial Court.

Nanao, an island at the junction of Guangdong and Fujian, is composed of Nanao Island and 36 small islands nearby.

The waterway less than 50 miles away from the land of Chaozhou is connected to the water branch in the east and Chaoyang County in the west.

South Australia is wide inside and outside the risk, there are Layu, Qingyu surrounded by outside, only one door can enter, and the middle can accommodate thousands of ships. Historically, Nanao was a necessary place and transit point for trade along the southeast coast, and by the Ming Dynasty it had developed into a "place of mutual trading on the sea", and at the same time, it had also become the source of smuggling and banditry syndicates.

Nanao Island is located in the southeast coastal area, between eastern Guangdong and southern Fujian, is a military important place, so a small island is divided into Guangdong and Fujian co-management, and the middle is divided by Xiongzhen Water Gate as the dividing line. In order to strengthen coastal defense, in the third year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (1576), Nanao Town was set up, and the deputy general army was placed to command the Fujian and Guangdong naval divisions.

In the thirteenth year of Chongzhen (1640), Zheng Zhilong was appointed as the commander-in-chief of Nanao, and four years later he was promoted to the governor of Fujian. For decades, Zheng Zhilong's Zheng Jiajun had been the most powerful controller in the Southeast China Sea, basically monopolizing the benefits of foreign access, and South Australia became an important base for its maritime trade.

After Zheng Zhilong surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, many of his subordinates who did not want to become Qing slaves were exiled to Nanao to smuggle for a living.

Although Chen Bao, who is now in charge of the military power in South Australia, is Zheng Zhilong's old subordinate, he opposes the surrender of the Qing Dynasty, and the South Australia under his rule is still nominally the Ming Longwu regime, and has always had an unclear attitude towards the Yongli regime, which has only been in existence for more than two years.
