Chapter 175: Hope

The persuasion of his subordinates made Yang Yandi also in a trance.

When the Qing army went south to the south of the Yangtze River, he took advantage of the turbulent situation in the south to lead his troops to occupy the Jiangshan Peninsula, claiming to be King Yang, and was later named the chief soldier of Liwu Town by Zheng Jing and began to resist the Qing Dynasty, so it has been more than 20 years.

For more than 20 years, he and his brothers were beaten by Shang Kexi's gang from Ganti Port to Dafeng River, all the way to the rout, and finally even Longmen Island was captured by the Qing army.

Now think about it, although the land of Shuizhenla is fertile for thousands of miles, these days I have brought my brothers to attract a group of Chinese immigrants to open up the wasteland here, and I have indeed cultivated thousands of acres of fertile land.

But Zhenla and other people have repeatedly attacked and harassed, plundering grain from time to time, destroying crops, and even attacking the Ming people, these days Huang Jin and other generals are also exhausted, and the most important thing is that everyone has gradually lost hope in this year after year.

Now Chen Shangchuan actually has a connection with the Ming court in Luzon, which gives these Ming people living in Zhenla real hope.

Looking at the earnest gaze of the general, Yang Yandi was also helpless.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you are willing to go south to the Ming Court." Yang Yandi looked at several generals, and from their fanatical eyes, Yang Yandi also knew the answer.

"My lord, we still have more than ten ships in Meidihaikou, and we will take a few more big ships from Guangnan and other merchants along the way, which is enough to carry us south to Luzon to defect to the Ming Court." A general in charge of Haikou's defense led the way.

"Then, what if you gather thousands of Ming people." Yang Yandi seemed to be talking to himself.

In the past few years, he has led his troops to be stationed in the United States, and has also attracted thousands of Chinese immigrants.

Leaving by yourself, this is not leaving these thousands of people to life.

Those people are the most ferocious, and I don't know how many Han people have been killed these days, if it weren't for the fact that most of the swords and weapons were confiscated by Guangnan, Yang Yandi would have fought back a long time ago.

"My lord, isn't it just a few thousand croppers, I used to ask them to farm the land to pay us grain and feed our thousands of brothers, but now we go south to the Ming Court, and we don't need them anymore, it's a big deal to throw it to Zhenlashengfan." General Yang Yong said impatiently.

After all, they were born as pirates, even if they later joined Taiwan's Zheng Jun, they still couldn't change their ruthless and ruthless character, and they didn't have any mercy for the lives of thousands of unarmed Chinese like Mei Di.

In the past, when Zhenla sent troops to attack and loot repeatedly, and hacked to death the Han people who cultivated the fields, these soldiers did not stop them, and even watched from the sidelines.

This is partly due to the obsolescence of the weapons and more to the contempt for the lives of these Han Chinese civilians.

After all, the main reason for collecting these thousands of Han people is to ask them to farm the land and grow grain, otherwise what will these thousands of people eat.

Obviously, several generals had the same meaning as Yang Yong, and they also wanted to defect to the Ming Court.

"The Lord led thousands of soldiers to the south to defect to the Ming Court in Luzon, the Ming Court must not seal the Lord as a general soldier, and the generals will also be able to soar, rather than eating soil in the poor countryside of Zhenla, it is better to go south to the Ming Court." The general Huang Jin also persuaded.

Yang Yandi also couldn't laugh or cry, when he received Chen Shangchuan's letter, and learned that the Ming Court of Luzon did not care about the long distance to aid the Ming people in Guangnan, he also thought about directly taking thousands of soldiers south to defect to the Ming Court.

Although it is indeed free to occupy the beauty of self-reliance, it is impossible to stand the repeated aggression of the Zhenla people, so it is better to take the brothers to defect to the Ming court.

Chen Shangchuan's few words in the credible made Yang Yandi have to think about more things.

The content of the letter is nothing more than asking Yang Yandi to stick to Meidi, treat Ming immigrants well, and engage in production well, so that Meidi Ming people can live and work in peace and contentment.

But in the end, he seemed to guess the thoughts of these pirate-born generals, and the letter directly advised Yang Yandi not to leave Meidi, and never abandon the Meidi Ming immigrants to lead the army to flee alone.

Otherwise, if Ming Tingming took the initiative to be angry, the gods would not be able to save him.

Although Yang Yandi stayed in Meidi, he also knew a thing or two about what had happened in Nanyang these days.

Regarding the Luzon Ming Court, Yang Yandi also inquired about some news from some Chinese merchants and merchants engaged in Nanyang trade.

I also know that the Ming Court of Luzon is the most short of people at this time, and you must know that when the Ming Court appointed the Far Sea to smuggle Han people from the mainland and Guangzhou, Yang Yandi also helped.

Of course, it was naturally sold to hundreds of Han descendants of Annam in Luhai, and if it weren't for the thousands of people under his own who needed to rely on the Han people to reclaim the wasteland and grow crops, it was estimated that he could sell these thousands of people.

Now think about it carefully, if you really lead your subordinates south to Luzon, you will be a general soldier at most, and there is no difference from what the Zheng family gave to you in Taiwan before.

It is better to stay in Meidi and wait and watch the situation, after all, he is still the king of the mountain now, and he can't eat official meals and is controlled by the imperial court.

"I'm here with Lord Chen, and now Zhenla is ready to get rid of us and other Jiading Mingren, how can we abandon Lord Chen and Guangnan Mingren and flee south by ourselves." Yang Yandi shook his head and pretended to be righteous.

"My lord, but ......" Several subordinates wanted to say something, but were stopped by Yang Yandi.

"Okay, since we live in Meidi, we should reclaim the wasteland and bless the local Ming people, the Ming court of Luzon has always attached importance to the safety of the Ming people, and we are here to protect the Ming people from the bullying of Zhenla, and the Ming court will also give a reward in the future, why do you need to Nantou now."

"Yang Yong." Yang Yandi said.

"The end will be."

"Order you to take thirty soldiers to Dongpu by boat to contact Lord Chen, in Guangnan, we are alone, there is Zhenla in the west, and Guangnan in the north, and now we still need to join forces to protect ourselves."

"The last general commands." Although the general Yang Yong was reluctant, he still received the order.

"My lord, we still have thousands of soldiers, although the equipment is outdated, but we also have the power to fight against the Zhenla people." General Huang Jindao.

"Hmm." Yang Yandi walked towards the outside of the tent and grabbed a handful of silver dollars from the treasure chest.

The silver round awarded to the soldiers of the Ming people in Dongpu is the new Yongli Tongbao of the Ming Court, and the word Yongli can be engraved on the sunny side, and the words of May of the 38th year are engraved on the edge.

"From today on, the soldiers will practice every three days, and the soldiers guarding the border will work three shifts in the morning and evening, and they must not let the Zhenla people enter the border again, if there are any more Zhenla Fanzi to loot the fertile land and cut down the Han people, the battalions in each town will chase and kill them, and those who violate the order will be beheaded." Yang Yandi gently put down a few silver yuan in his hand.

"Give all the silver and silver awarded by the Ming Court to the brothers, and we have to give the brothers below a little hope." Yang Yandi said with a smile.
