"Impossible, didn't he go to Nantou Guangnan?" An older Qian general muttered suspiciously.

"And this person's previous attack on my Qiongzhou was just harassing and looting villages along the way, and he never occupied the county seat."

"How many people are on the other side?" Wang asked vigilantly.

"There were no less than eight hundred people, and the villain still saw the thieves from a distance on the mountain, well-armed, and those in armor, two or three out of ten, and even saw some artillery." The scout's words made the faces of the Wanzhou generals present more and more ugly.

"General, in my opinion, let's report to the prefect." Thousand total road.

The generals of the Green Battalion present were already panicked, many of them had been on Qiongzhou Island for more than ten years, and had also expelled pirates and suppressed the local Li rebellion.

However, it was only a small-scale battle, at best it was a weapon fight between dozens of people, and they had never seen a really large battle.

There is still a Li rebellion in Lingshui, and now Yang Yandi has led pirates to occupy Yazhou and attack in the direction of Wanzhou, and the situation on Qiongzhou Island has never been so bad for so many years.

"Immediately order all the green battalion soldiers to retreat to Wanzhou County." Wang Jin ordered.

"What about Lingshui County?" One of the generals muttered softly.

"I can't take care of the rebellious Li people, so I immediately notify the prefect and ask him to report to the governor of Liangguang and let the officers and soldiers of the green battalion in Guangdong come over for reinforcements." Wang Jindao.

Now that the Haikou is powerful, they can only shrink their forces and wait for reinforcements.

In the area of Thanksgiving County, the officers and men of the Marine Battalion immediately marched towards Changhua after a short rest.

Thanksgiving County Township Yong Xu Liangyuan led hundreds of township Yong in the county to directly surrender to the Ming army.

Feelings: After the arrival of the Thanksgiving County Order, he has been indiscriminately collecting taxes and miscellaneous taxes and oppressing the people, and a small Thanksgiving County Decree has found more than 3,000 taels of silver from his home.

Wang An was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

Naturally, this does not include some calligraphy and painting antiques, gold and pearls.

Wang An kept his promise and distributed all the more than 3,000 taels of silver to the people of Thanksgiving County.

They even opened a granary and distributed more than 2,000 stone of grain to the people.

This series of actions naturally made the people of Thanksgiving County grateful to Dade.

In just five or six days, the reputation of the Ming army has spread throughout Thanksgiving County.

In addition, the local townsmen in Thanksgiving County directly surrendered to the Ming army, so for several days, all parts of Thanksgiving County one after another, there were two or three hundred young men who defected to the Ming army.

In this regard, Wang An waved his pen and directly compiled it into the tent.

And selected more than 100 of them to form a vanguard team to follow the Ming army north to Changhua.

These villagers were led by Xu Liangyuan, and the sailors of the Danzhou battalion stationed in the Changhua area had not been informed of the pirate attack before, and it was too late when the civilians of Thanksgiving County who fled to the Changhua area told them.

The villagers who pretended to be homeless killed the Qing army and caught them off guard.

As the so-called heavy reward must have brave men, the Ming army rewarded the township warriors of Thanksgiving County with real money and silver, and these men naturally gave back to the Ming army with real knives and real guns.

The green battalion of the Qing army was defeated by these local villagers for a time and was forced to withdraw from Changhua. …

In just one day, the Ming army took Changhua.

However, after taking Changhua, Wang An ordered the march to be stopped.

Because the heralds in the rear have also spread the news that Li Du led the sailors to the north.

Wang An naturally knew that the Qing army in the northern part of Qiongzhou Island was heavily defended, so he did not dare to attack rashly, but only reduced his forces to defend in the Changhua area, and waited for the arrival of the officers and soldiers of the naval division led by Li Du.

To say that the reaction speed of the green battalion soldiers in the Danzhou area is much faster than that of the Wanzhou green battalion.

The defeated sailors fled by boat and arrived in Danzhou at noon the next day.

The news of the pirate attack on Changhua was informed of the local generals and officials.

However, because the officers and soldiers of the Changhua Green Battalion were only attacked by hundreds of villagers led by Xu Liangyuan.

The local generals did not care, but only sent a general to lead dozens of Qing officers and soldiers to suppress it.

The result was that the meat buns beat the dogs, and there was no return, and for two days, there was no news.

These Danzhou officials couldn't sit still and hurriedly reported.

It was not until this time that Tong Xiangnian, the prefect of Qiongzhou, learned the news that Qiongzhou Island was in chaos.

Looking at the reports from all over the country and asking for help, Tong Xiangnian, the prefect of Qiongzhou, had already turned to ashes.

"Wanzhou is in a hurry."

"The Li people of Lingshui rebelled, and the Li people led their troops to conquer Lingshui County."

"There is an emergency in Lanzhou, and a large number of pirates are infested."

One by one, the news exploded in the prefect's mind like a thunderbolt from the sky.

As early as seven or eight days ago, someone had already arrived from the direction of Yazhou to inform that there were pirates attacking Yazhou.

But at that time, he just thought it was just a small group of pirates attacking and harassing, and he didn't take it seriously.

After all, the boundaries of Qiongzhou are disturbed by pirates three or five times a year, and it is normal, so it will be handled by the local green battalion soldiers.

But who would have thought that in just seven or eight days, the entire Qiongzhou Island would be chaotic.

An official hurriedly walked over, and the prefect Tong Xiangnian hurriedly grabbed him.

"How is it, Yazhou, have you been contacted by the green battalions in the Thanksgiving area?" Prefect Tong Xiangnian hurriedly asked.

"I can't get in touch, the official roads in the Thanksgiving area of Yazhou have been stopped by pirates, even Changhua

Dear, this chapter is not finished, and there is another page oh ^0^ has fallen into the hands of pirates. The official said with a sad face and a tearless voice.

After the prefect Tong Xiangnian heard this, he stumbled and sat on the ground.

"I've been ruling Qiong for decades, and I've never encountered such a disaster."

"Where did the giant thief in the sea come from, and he actually seized several counties in my state in a row." The prefect Tong Xiangnian sat on the ground, his mind was already blank at the moment, and his mouth kept murmuring.

"Your Excellency, the chief officer is here." A servant hurriedly walked in and whispered.

At this time, a middle-aged general strode into the lobby, and he looked at the prefect of Qiongzhou who was sitting on the ground with a solemn face.

"Lao Tong, hurry up, don't lose your identity." Wu Qijue, the chief soldier of Qiongzhou, hurriedly stepped forward to help the prefect.

If the officials in other places saw it, a dignified prefect would have to laugh off his big teeth if he was so out of shape.

However, when the officials present saw the prefect's gaffe, no one said anything, because they were also in shock at the moment.

After all, it will take three or five days to rush from Yazhou to Qiongshan no matter what.

It takes seven or eight days to go back and forth.

But who would have thought that in such a short period of time, pirates would occupy three counties in one state.

"Your Excellency the Chief Soldier, there are thousands of green battalions stationed in Yazhou." A local official stepped out and whispered.

"How could this ordinary pirate be able to connect three counties in one state in just seven or eight days?" The Qing Dynasty officials present looked at each other, their faces full of panic.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please rest assured, I have 5,000 officers and soldiers of the Green Battalion on Qiongzhou Island, and more than 100 ships of the Navy Division. Wu Qijue didn't care, and said calmly.

Dear, this chapter is over, happy reading! ^0^
