When Xiao Wu insisted on sending firewood sticks before, Yang Yandi only thought that Xiao Wu was so happy that he even wanted to take the opportunity of the big war to consume the strength of the Meidi Ming people, but on the way to Luzon, Yang Yandi gradually guessed the intention of the Ming court.

Therefore, the Qiongzhou nautical chart that has been sealed for a long time was prepared in advance.

When Yang Yandi led the generals to be pirates along the coast of Guangdong, he also tried to attack Qiongzhou several times, and he also knew a thing or two about the defense in Qiongzhou.

"My lord, please see, this Qiongzhou has weak troops, and there are no Eight Banners to garrison, only the green battalion soldiers and some warships are stationed in the Haikou area." Yang Yandi pointed to Haikou and said.

"When the last general led the troops against the Qing Dynasty, he sent troops to attack Yazhou, Wenchang and other places several times, but unfortunately we were only for Haikou at that time, and the logistics baggage, grain and grass supplies were insufficient, so we were unable to continue and were forced to withdraw the army." Yang Yandi sighed.

At that time, Yang Yandi led his troops to resist the Qing Dynasty in Guangdong, but because he could not defeat the Eight Banners on land, he had to fight guerrilla operations at sea.

After all, to fight guerrilla warfare at sea is to abandon the counties and towns on land, which means the loss of taxes, grain and grass, and the replenishment of soldiers.

This is also the reason why after the Qing army defeated Taiwan's Zhengjia Naval Division, Liu Yu encouraged Xiao Wu to go south to Luzon Island, desperately trying to seize the northern part of Luzon Island from the Spaniards.

Because only with land can the population be gathered, taxes can be paid, and soldiers can be replenished with food and grass, which cannot be sustained by sea plunder.

"The warships of the Luzon Navy Division can gather in Jiading, and from Jiading, they will directly land in Qiongzhou through the Guangnan Sea, and the officers and soldiers of the Green Battalion on Qiongzhou Island will not be able to resist the offensive of the Ming army." Yang Yandi analyzed.

These days, he carefully observed the warships and artillery of the Ming Naval Division, and was deeply shocked by the scale and armament of the Ming Naval Division in front of him.

"Yes, with the strength of the Ming Dynasty's sailors, it will not be a problem to take Qiongzhou, and it will not be a problem to attack the coastal areas of Guangdong." Liu Yu nodded.

During this period, Liangguang was not like Fujian and Taiwan.

Since the Qing army had just pacified the Zheng clan in Taiwan, a powerful Fujian naval division was stationed in Penghu.

made it impossible for the Ming court sailors to get their hands on Taiwan at all.

However, the coastal defense along the coast of Guangdong was too scattered compared to the Fujian Naval Division, and the warships and soldiers were far less powerful than those of the Fujian Naval Division.

After all, Shi Lang's ability to control the naval division is still very strong, and the Fujian naval division only exterminated the Zheng Taiwanese naval division several years ago, and the naval combat ability of the officers and soldiers is particularly prominent, compared with the Guangdong naval division that has been able to drive away pirates for a long time, it is much weaker.

In addition, the admiral of Guangdong's naval division has long been dismissed by Kangxi.

The first commander of the Guangdong Navy Division formed an army in Kangxi 3 years, the commander of the Navy Division was stationed in Huizhou, when the Qing army took the land of Shenzhou not long ago, the coastal resistance forces continued, and bandits were rampant, so the Navy Commander was established, but later Zheng Chenggong died of illness soon after occupying Taiwan, and the anti-Qing forces in the coastal activities along the south of the Yangtze River weakened a lot, and in the 7th year of Kangxi, due to the disappearance of the anti-Qing forces in Guangxi and Guangzhou, they were dismissed by Kangxi.

However, this does not mean that Guangdong's coastal defense is weak.

In the early Qing Dynasty, Guangdong's coastal defense took the economic system of officers and soldiers in the eight years of Shunzhi as the starting point, and gradually formed a troop deployment and military command system with Guangdong, Zhaoqing, and Huizhou as the center, and the three towns of Chaozhou, Gaozhou, and Qiongzhou, and the right-wing town stationed in Shaozhou as the arch guard.

Haiphong is divided into three roads: middle, east and west, with Xiangshan as the center in the middle road, Dongguan on the left, Xinhui in the west, and Xinning forming a horn to support.

Among them, the central route stationed in the Pearl River area is the strongest, and the chief officer of the Guangzhou Navy Division has been set up to garrison the Pearl River estuary, and more than 10 sub-defense battalions such as Nanao and Longmen have been deployed along the coast.

Liu Yu thought about it, if after pacifying Guangnan, he would gather the naval warships and set off from Jiading to Qiongzhou, annihilate the officers and soldiers of the Green Battalion in the Haikou area before the Qing army in Guangdong could react, and occupy Qiongzhou Island.

The Ming Army's naval division could wait for the attack of the Guangdong Maritime Division in Qiongzhou.

Of course, the premise is that the Ming officers and soldiers who landed must take Qiongzhou within one month.

Deal with it before the Qing army in Guangdong reacts.

The idea is good, but if it is really manipulated, there are many problems.

"Two generals, the Jiading area still needs to rely on the two, now Dongpu is seriously affected, and I hope that General Chen will step up the resumption of production, resettle the displaced people, and the Ming Court Chamber of Commerce will also do its best to transport grain, grass and farm tools to Dongpu."

"As for Mei Di, I also hope that General Yang will consult with Lord Xiao Wu more to jointly consolidate Jiading's coastal defense." Liu Yu looked at the two generals in front of him and said.

The two generals glanced at each other and took orders one after another.

"What is the deployment of troops in Jiading now?" Liu Yu said.

"My lord, the total number of troops in each county in the Jiading area can reach 5,000 people, and there are more than 100 naval warships." Yang Yandi said.

"Meidi, the Ming army of Dongpu No. 2 Town, next year each town can allocate 150,000 taels of military salary."

After listening to Liu Yu's words, Chen Shangchuan and Yang Yandi's two generals showed joy on their faces and hurriedly thanked them.

After the two generals walked out of the official hall, Liu Yu sat down and carefully checked the Nanyang nautical chart and the map of Qiongzhou.

"Wuda, can the houses arranged for the two generals be properly settled?" Liu Yu suddenly asked.

"Back to the adult, it has been properly settled as early as half a month ago, and the slaves and servants in the house are also carefully selected from the epidemic avoidance." Uda stepped forward and said softly.

"Remember to be hospitable, not to be lazy." Liu Yu looked at the chart and said.

"It's just that the villain still has something to understand." Uda asked softly.

"Since this Jiading has been taken by my Ming court, then why not leave Chen Yang and the two in Luzon, and then appoint officials to go to Jiading to govern, after all, Lord Xiao Wu's sailor is also in Jiading, the villain is not suspicious of the second general, but the Ming court will send troops to Qiongzhou in the future, this Jiading area must be the top priority, the Lord will hand over Jiading to the second general Chen Yang so easily, if he has a rebellion, I am afraid that it will be difficult to calm down with Lord Xiao Wu's water division, and all the efforts of the Ming court will be in vain."

When Wuda finished speaking, Liu Yu couldn't help frowning and glanced at Wuda.

Wuda's worries are not unreasonable, the second general Chen Yang came after all, and the Ming army in the Jiading area only obeyed the two, and the Ming court should indeed be prepared.

"What do you think?" Liu Yu asked rhetorically.

"It's better to leave Chen and Yang in Luzon, seize their military power, and then appoint generals to Jiading to lead troops to garrison." Uda Road.

After listening, Liu Yu shook his head, "Jiading is stable, if my Ming court detains the second general, I am afraid that the generals of the Jiading Ming people will have two hearts, and I will make the second general the commander of the Jiading land and water commander, which also means that the second general will appease the generals of the Jiading Ming people, after all, the Ming court has just arrived, and the Ming people of Jiading may not be willing to obey the governance of the Ming court, and the two generals need to appease the people and govern Jiading." ”

In fact, Liu Yu also thought about leaving Chen Yang'er General in Luzon Island directly, and the Ming court appointed officials and generals to Jiading.

However, he was afraid that the Ming generals in the Jiading area would be dissatisfied with raising troops to resist, so they gave up.

The most important thing is that Chen Yang and the second general will be of great use to the Ming court of Luzon.

Chen Shangchuan was able to govern the country, and the Jiading in Vietnam in later generations was developed step by step by him with the Ming people.

handed over Jiading to Chen Shangchuan for management, and Liu Yu was also relieved.

And Yang Yandi has been active in the coastal areas of Liangguang all the year round, and even attacked Qiongzhou several times, and is most familiar with the coastal areas of Liangguang.

So after thinking about it, Liu Yu finally chose to gamble.

"I hope the two of them will not live up to my trust." Liu Yu looked at the chart in front of him and muttered to himself.
