Before, when Xiao Wu insisted on sending troops to the firewood stick, Yang Yandi just thought that Xiao Wu was very happy with merit, and even wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of a war to consume the strength of Midi Mingren. However, on the way to Luzon, Yang Yandi gradually guessed the intention of the Ming court.

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

When Yang Yandi led his generals to be pirates along the coast of Guangdong, he also planned to attack Qiongzhou several times, and he also knew a little about the defense in Qiongzhou.

"Sir, please see, Qiongzhou has weak troops and no Eight Banners garrisons. Only Green Camp soldiers and some warships are stationed in Haikou." Yang Yandi pointed to Haikou and said.

"When the last general led his troops to fight against the Qing Dynasty, he sent troops to attack Yazhou, Wenchang and other places several times. Unfortunately, we were only for the pirates at that time, and we were not able to support the logistics, supplies, food and supplies, and we were forced to withdraw our troops." Yang Yandi sighed.

At that time, Yang Yandi led his troops to fight against the Qing Dynasty in Guangdong. Since he could not defeat the Eight Banners on land, he had to fight guerrillas at sea. Like Zheng Chenggong, Yang Yandi's troops were also troubled by food and grass issues.

After all, fighting guerrilla warfare at sea is actually giving up the county and towns on land, which means losing taxes, food, and military supplements.

This is also why Liu Yu encouraged Xiao Wu to go south to Luzon Island after the Qing army defeated the Zheng Navy in Taiwan, and tried his best to snatch the northern part of Luzon Island from the Spanish.

Because only by land can people gather, taxes can be provided, and the food and grass of soldiers can be supplemented. These are unsustainable by plundering at sea.

"Luzon naval warships can gather in Jiading, and start from Jiading to Guangnan waters directly land in Qiongzhou. With the Green Camp officers and soldiers on Qiongzhou Island, they cannot resist the Ming army's offensive." Yang Yandi analyzed.

During these days, he carefully observed the warships and artillery of the Ming Navy, and was deeply shocked by the scale and military equipment of the Ming Navy in front of him.

The coastal defenses in the coastal areas of Guangdong are too scattered than those of the Fujian Navy, and the warships and soldiers are far less powerful than those of the Fujian Navy.

After all, Shi Lang has a strong ability to manage the naval forces, and the officers and soldiers have outstanding naval combat capabilities. In comparison, the Guangdong Navy, which has been pacified for a long time, can only drive away pirates, is much weaker.

In addition, the Guangdong naval admiral had long been sacked by Kangxi.

The Guangdong Navy Admiral was the first to form an army in the third year of Kangxi. The Navy Admiral was stationed in Huizhou. Shortly after the Qing army captured the land of China, there were continuous coastal resistance forces and bandits were rampant, so the Navy Admiral was established. However, Zheng Chenggong died of illness shortly after occupying Taiwan, and the anti-Qing forces operating along the coast of Jiangnan were greatly weakened. In the seventh year of Kangxi, the anti-Qing forces of Guangdong and Guangxi disappeared, and were abolished by Kangxi.

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

In the early Qing Dynasty, Guangdong Haidang took the establishment of the economic system of officers and soldiers in Guangdong and Guangxi in the eighth year of Shunzhi as the starting point, and gradually formed a military deployment and military command system centered on Guangdong, Zhaoqing and Huizhou, with Chaozhou, Gaozhou and Qiongzhou towns and the Right-wing town stationed in Shaozhou Prefecture as the guards.

The coastal defense system is divided into three routes: middle, east and west. The middle route is centered on Xiangshan, Dongguan on the left, Xinhui on the west, and Xinning on the west.

Among them, the middle road stationed in the Pearl River area was the strongest, and the Guangzhou Navy General was established to garrison the Pearl River Estuary, and more than a dozen branch defense battalions such as Nan'ao and Longmen were deployed along the coast.

Liu Yu thought about it, if he had gathered naval warships from Jiading to Qiongzhou after appeased Guangnan, and annihilated the Green Camp officers and soldiers in Haikou and occupied Qiongzhou Island before the Qing army in Guangdong did not react.

The Ming army navy could have waited for the Guangdong Sea Waterproof Division to attack in Qiongzhou.

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

The Qing army in Guangdong responded before it responded.

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

"Two generals, the Jiading area still needs to rely on two people. Dongpu is seriously affected by the disaster. I hope General Chen will speed up the restoration of production and resettlement of refugees. The Ming Dynasty Chamber of Commerce will also do its best to transport grain and grass and agricultural tools to Dongpu."

"As for Meidi, I hope General Yang will negotiate with Lord Xiao Wu more to consolidate the coastal defense of Jiading." Liu Yu looked at the two generals in front of him and said.

The two generals looked at each other and took the order one after another.

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

"Sir, the total number of troops in the Jiading area can reach 5,000, and more than 100 naval warships." Yang Yandi said.

"Meidi, the Ming army in the two towns of Dongpu, will be allocated 150,000 taels of military pay for each town next year."

After hearing Liu Yu's words, Chen Shangchuan and Yang Yandi's two generals showed joy and hurriedly thanked them.

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

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

"Ask the master, it was already settled half a month ago, and the servants and servants in the house were carefully selected from the epidemic avoidance." Wuda walked forward and said softly.

"Remember to entertain well and not neglect it." Liu Yu looked at Haitu and said.

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

"Since this Jiading has been taken down by our Ming court, why not leave Chen and Yang in Luzon and then appoint officials to Jiading to govern. After all, Lord Xiao Wu's navy is also in Jiading. The villain is not suspicious of the two generals, but the Ming court will send troops to Qiongzhou in the future. This Jiading area must be the top priority. If the Lord Xiao Wu is so rebellious, I am afraid that the navy will be difficult to pacify the navy with Lord Xiao Wu. At that time, all the efforts of the Ming court will be wasted."

When Wuda finished speaking, Liu Yu couldn't help but frowned and looked at Wuda.

Wuda's concerns are not unreasonable. The two generals Chen and Yang came to recruit them after all. The Ming army in Jiading only obeyed the two, and the Ming court should have prepared.

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

"It's better to keep Chen and Yang in Luzon, seize their military power, and then appoint generals to Jiading to lead troops to defend." Wuda said.

After hearing this, Liu Yu shook his head, "Jiading and Stable. If my Ming court detains the two generals, I am afraid that the generals of the Ming Dynasty in Jiading will have two hearts. I will be appointed as the admiral of the water and land of Jiading. The intention is to let the two generals appease the generals of the Ming Dynasty in Jiading. After all, the Ming Dynasty in the Ming Dynasty is just a matter of just arriving, and the Ming Dynasty in Jiading may not be willing to obey the governance of the Ming Dynasty. The two generals need to appease the people and govern Jiading."

In fact, Liu Yu had thought of leaving the two generals Chen and Yang on Luzon Island directly, and the Ming court appointed officials and generals to Jiading.

However, he was afraid that the Ming generals in Jiading area were dissatisfied with the rebellion, so he gave up.

The most important thing is that the two generals Chen and Yang were of great use to the Luzon Ming court.

Chen Shangchuan was very civilized, and later generations of Jiading in Vietnam were developed step by step with the Ming people.

Liu Yu was relieved to hand over Jiading to Chen Shangchuan for management.

Yang Yandi has been active in the coastal areas of Guangdong and Guangxi for many years, and even attacked Qiongzhou several times. He is most familiar with the coastal areas of Guangdong and Guangxi. If the Ming army goes north in the future, Yang Yandi will be the pioneer general.

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