After struggling Fujian, Chen Wen recovered the large areas of Fuzhou Prefecture, Yanping Prefecture, Xinghua Prefecture and Funing Prefecture. Quanzhou was handed over to Zheng Chenggong. After the two armies divided the war horses of Geng Jimao's troops, Chen Wen left Quanzhou without asking for anything, including the small-caliber red artillery cannons on the top of the city. However, on the way, Chen Wen was always thinking about the flowering bullets mentioned by Zheng Chenggong after seeing the mortar cannon.

The Ming Dynasty was not without flower shells. Chen Wen was not sure about the effect because he had not used it. However, logically speaking, the damage caused by flower shells to personnel must be above solid shells. The reason why the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang has always used solid shells is mainly due to the advantage of production speed.

Whether to carry out production and the ratio to solid shells still need to be calculated. On the other hand, the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Ming Army emphasized the tradition of hand-to-hand combat has also made the proportion of artillery in the army low, and there is indeed a range that can be increased in fire support.

Only after war can one know its own shortcomings. In this month in Fujian, it was almost equivalent to a marching battle. The Ming army of Jiangsu and Zhejiang completely eliminated the Qing army under Liu Qingtai and Geng Jimao's private army like a rock falling to the street. The results were remarkable and no flaws were exposed, but Chen Wen always felt that he could do better.

However, Chen Wenhao needs to continue to observe in Guangdong and Guangxi after the war ends in this stage.

After leaving Quanzhou, passing Yanping, and entering Tingzhou, there were already preliminary preparations there, and Chen Wen could choose to directly attack Chaozhou from Tingzhou and return to Nangan and go south to Guangzhou.

The former can meet with the Luling and Yuhang divisions in the southern Gan area in the northern part of Huizhou, and after conquering Chaozhou, they can focus on going west; while the latter can first seem to have a surprise attack effect on Guangzhou, but the distance between them is very far from Nan Gan area, and Shang Kexi has enough time to react. Moreover, once the attack is not smooth, Sun Kewang in the north, Shang Kexi in the west, and Hao Shangjiu in the east will be surrounded.

The former is obviously more secure than the latter, and after Zheng Chenggong handed Sun Yunxuan and his party sent by Chen Qice to Chen Wen, Chen Wen became even more determined on this path.

"Your Highness King Yue, my general is now standing on the island. I hope your highness will send troops to rescue you as soon as possible."

After saying that, Sun Yunxuan and his party fell to the ground. However, at this moment, although the generals under Chen Wen could understand this concern, they all glared at him. As for the reason, it was very simple. A small guerrilla dared to interfere with the prince's decision, and is there any upper and lower levels of mind.

"I remember Sun Guerrilla mentioned before that your navy lost little in the previous defeat, and there is still an overwhelming advantage over Xu Long?"

“That’s right.”

Hearing this answer, Chen Wen smiled slightly: "Sun Guerrilla cares about it, and I can understand it, but the ships are the key to the navy. Shang Ni's advantage lies in the land army. The navy's victory in Jiangmen has been almost gone. However, after the king's Military Information Department reported that Xu Long's troops were under the command of Shang Kexi, they did not expand. Whether it was soldiers or ships, since General Ling Hai was able to kill Gai Yipeng in a formation, does Sun Guerrilla feel that your general does not even have the ability to defend the upper and lower Sichuan Island?"

In the Ming Army of Guangdong, Chen Qice was not the only one who reigned the navy. Li Changrong's troops on Hailing Island were also known as the navy. After Chen Qice retreated to the island, it was not Xu Long who could threaten it, but once Li Changrong surrendered to Shang Kexi, the Li Navy cooperated with Xu Long to force the landing of the upper and lower Sichuan Islands. Chen Qice might be able to withstand the naval battle, but after the Shang army landed on the island, the army was threatened, so it would be difficult for the army to continue fighting.

Fortunately, Chen Wen got information from Zheng Chenggong. Shang Kexi was eager to attack Gao Lian Lei Qiong's four palaces with Ban Zhifu, and lift the threat of Zhang Xiaoqi, the governor who had the right to control the armed forces of the four governments, in order to prevent him from quickly organizing the Ming army of the four governments to fight, causing the war to fall into a stalemate. In addition, Wang Xing retreated to Wen Village and defended him, and the offensive of Li Changrong's troops was not fierce. Li Changrong had already retreated to Hailing Island like Chen Qice. All he left was the land territory, and the navy still isolated the sea route of Shang's army to the island.

"The last thing will be known to you."

Without warships, Xu Erxian, who stayed in southern Guangzhou, could not take his army to swim to the island. Sun Yunxuan could not understand this principle, but because of this mission, he had to bite the bullet and make suggestions.

Chen Wen was not concerned about this and signaled that he would continue to arrange combat missions after he stood up. A few days later, the sentencing troops returned. Hou Guoyuan led the Luling Division and An Youfu led the Yuhang Division to directly go south to northern Huizhou to cooperate with the combat. After Chen Wen determined that the two divisions in the south Gan direction set off, he personally promoted the army westward and entered the northern Chaozhou area.

Chaozhou is theoretically Hao Shangjiu's territory, but in fact Hao Shangjiu only controls the southern part of Chaozhou, while the northern part is under the control of General Wu Liuqi, Raoping.

Wu Liuqi is the prototype of Wu Liuqi, a powerful general in later martial arts masters. In the novel, Wu Liuqi is the incense master of the Tiandihui, but in fact, this person's military career is mainly to help the Qing court pacify eastern Guangdong and resist Zheng Chenggong.

Wu Liuqi was a local volunteer in Chaozhou, and was promoted to general in the Yongli Dynasty. After surrendering to the Qing Dynasty, he recruited the heroes in eastern Guangdong, suppressed the rebellion of Chaozhou General Hao Shangjiu and recaptured Jieyang and cut off the Zheng army's food and salary supplies. He all had great strength. Another unexpected gain in the Battle of Jieyang was that Huang Wu was routinely punished by Zheng Chenggong after his defeat, so he chose to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, which led to the fall of Haicheng Fortress and the chain reaction of the Ming army in Fujian who was forced to withdraw some troops to return to aid on the eve of the war in Zhoushan, and all his previous efforts in the past two years were wasted.

As Chen Wen recovered Nangan, the situation in Guangdong changed drastically, and all the military generals of the eastern Guangdong green camp such as Wu Liuqi were invested under Shang Kexi. However, when Chen Wen led his army into Chaozhou, the local man who had always fought locally turned to Huizhou without hesitation. It seemed that he had no intention of getting a mantis arm at all.

In fact, as far as I know, the Cha family in Haining seems to have been kind to Wu Liuqi. Many books in the early Qing Dynasty mentioned or hinted, but Chen Wen did not intend to waste this skill. The army came, but who knew that this "powerful general" was not only strong, but also had the ability to apply oil under his feet, but Chen Wen was exhausted.

When Wu Liuqi turned in, Hao Shangjiu, who was in the southern part of Chaozhou, was exposed. He used Hao Shangjiu to consume Chen Wen's troops, and the abacus was too loud. However, Chen Wen did not intend to make them as they wished so easily. After the army arrived at the Fucheng City, he simply sent an envoy into the city.

"Okay, then don't waste my time. It's Chaozhou. I'll go and deal with that guy Shang Kexi and ask him to be more interested."

The adaptation is very simple. All the local troops in Chaozhou were disarmed and sent to the training camp in Jiangxi, while the local troops brought by Chen Wen from Fujian were stationed. As for Hao Shangjiu's family, a house in the former city of Hangzhou had been vacated. To be a local tyrant, there was a good place with paradise and Suzhou and Hangzhou to be a local tyrant. What else is there to be unreasonable?

……………………

In history, the Qing Dynasty eliminated Hao Shangjiu, who had already announced that it had been corrected, and carried out a massacre in Chaozhou, killing more than 100,000 people. Now Chaozhou has been "peacefully liberated". Although even if the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang broke the city, it would not be as beastly as our Qing Dynasty, but fewer people could die here, it would be satisfying Chen Wen.

It is April now, and Chen Wen's army has come to Fujian to make a self-guided tour. Shang Kexi has used this period to basically complete the annexation of the former Li Dingguo occupied areas in eastern and eastern Guangxi.

Since the middle of the first lunar month, it has only been more than two months since the general Guo Zhiqi, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi Lianchengbi, the governor of Gao Lian Leiqiong, and other civil officials of the four prefectures of Zhou Tengfeng of Haibei Province were successively captured. General Linghai Chen Qice and General Li Changrong of General Li Changrong entered the sea, General Hu Ben Wang Xing retreated to Wencun, Zhangping Bo Zhou Jintang of Gaozhou and General Jingxing of Qinzhou Deng Yao and other troops retreated to Guangxi and Qiongzhou. For a time, the generals in eastern Guangdong surrendered or fled, which could be called the four words of destruction.

In the eastern part of Guangxi, with the cooperation of Bo and Ma Xiong of Shunyi, the progress was also very fast. General Ren's garrison General Ren'an, and Li Chengjue, the navy of Guan Zheng, knew that his troops were defeated and abandoned the city and left. Next, Shang Kexi's troops went north to collect the Pingyuefu in the southern part of Liuzhou Prefecture, while Ma Xiong led his troops to continue pursuing. He arrived at Hengzhou through Gui County. The guards Gao Wengui, Shi Shangyi and Li Chengjue who fled here, Li Xianfang retreated without fighting. At the end of March, Ma Xiong occupied Nanning Prefecture and captured Li Xianfang in Setuan. The Guangxi strategy came to an end for the time being.

It is one thing to achieve such a remarkable record, but it is a matter of being determined but not being intentional. The hard gap in strength is the key. Originally, Li Dingguo was there, and these Ming troops could still guard all over the country, fight against small groups of Qing troops and bandits, and pacify the local area. However, once Li Dingguo left, they would be defeated thousands of miles away as Li Dingguo was forced to go to Huguang after he was forced to take the lead in Guangxi in the sixth year of Yongli.

In history, with Shang Kexi and Geng Jimao's army's strategy to Guangxi, although Li Dingguo defeated Sun Kewang next, he soon encountered three encirclements from the Qing Dynasty from Sichuan, Huguang and Guangxi, and the great cause of the Southern Ming Dynasty's anti-Qing Dynasty ended since then.

However, with Chen Wen's rise, Shang Kexi took the right move to the time. Although the direction was still west, he had already raised the banner of the Ming army, and changed from an invasion to a civil war with the purpose of annexation. Unfortunately, Shang Kexi's calculations were very smart, but Chen Wen's integration of the south for the Northern Expedition had begun, and he did not leave time to integrate this half-provincial territory.

"This lunatic Chen Wen just held two large-scale battles last year. In the first half of this year, he sent troops to Fujian and Guangdong. Are his generals and soldiers all fighting iron?!"

Shang Kexi said he was helpless. He worked hard and tried hard to complete the rapid increase in his strength before Chen Wen went south to clean up them, so as to achieve the possibility of self-protection, but it was still one step later. For the sake of the present, the only way to fight Chen Wenjue to the death in Guangzhou was left.

After receiving the news that the spies from Fujian sent them back, Shang Kexi discussed with Ma Xiong. He explained the truth about the coldness of his lips and teeth. Ma Xiong had to bring his troops to Guangzhou to help with the war. Now that the army is still on the way back, Shang Kexi has already rushed back to Guangzhou one step ahead. His son Shang Zhixin, general Xu Erxian and counselor Jin Guang and other core officials of the royal palace are all there. Wu Liuqi and Huang Yingjie from Chaozhou and Huizhou have also given up on their land and rushed to Guangzhou to make a desperate attempt.
