Gao Jinku ran away under the eyes of the navy officers and soldiers. Shi Lang and Luo Ming apologized to Li Guodong: "The generals are both negligent in the precautions, which caused Gao Ni to escape. He also asked the general to punish him." "Two generals are asking him to get up quickly," Li Guodong did not blame them, "Gao Jinku can run to the first day of the first day, but he can run to the fifteenth day. As long as my army attacks Guangdong, where can he run to? However, the two generals should pay attention in the future. In the future, this battle of siege like this will not only be the matter of the mainland army, but also the navy must be more vigilant. If there is another next time, this Gong will punish the two people with a heavy punishment!"

"Thank you, the general! I will pay attention in the future!" Shi Lang and Luo Mingshou said in unison. Although Li Guodong did not punish them, they felt uncomfortable. Duke Chu trusted him so much, but he made such a big mistake. He must not make such mistakes again in the future.

The Huai Army conquered Ganzhou and opened up the road to Guangdong.

Gao Jinku was defeated, and the more than 40,000 rebels were almost wiped out except for a few people who fled, and the gates of Guangdong were completely opened to the court.

When the Huai Army wants to enter Guangdong, there are two roads to walk. One is to walk in Shaozhou. After arriving in Shaozhou, you can go south along Beijiang and reach Guangzhou; the other is to walk in south and reach Huizhou Prefecture, and then go to Dongjiang and west, you can also reach Guangzhou.

It is not easy to walk on Shaozhou. From Ganzhou to the west, along the Zhangjiang River, the boat can reach Chongyi, the upper reaches of the Zhangjiang River. There is no river to sail there, so you can only walk the mountain road. You need to walk more than 150 miles of mountain road to Nanxiong, and then collect ships, cut down wood to build a raft, and then go down the river to Shaozhou, then go south from Shaozhou to Guangzhou. Although this road takes more than 150 miles of mountain road, this is the closest road to Guangzhou.

The other road is to Huizhou. As long as you go from Ganzhou along the Gongjiang River, the boat can reach Dingnan, then get off the boat and walk more than 50 miles of mountain road to the southeast, and there will be rivers that can flow downstream. Although it is difficult to recruit ships in the valley, the rich forest resources around can allow the Huai Army to build a raft downstream, go straight to Huizhou, and then go to Guangzhou by going to Dongjiang.

"No matter which way you go, you must defeat the Guangdong Navy, otherwise we will not be able to enter Guangzhou with the help of the river." Shi Lang said.

As long as the navy's ship is a huge project, it is not easy to move forward after entering the Pearl River Delta.

"Master, we can recruit local people to serve as civil servants and help us transport the ship to Guangdong." Luo Mingshou suggested.

Li Guodong agreed to the proposal, but added: "The Guangdong Navy is strong, and we have to ask the Zheng Family Army Navy for help. General Shi, when we fight to Huizhou, you can write a letter to the Zheng Family Army and ask their navy to help."

At this time, news came that King Gui Zhu Youlang ascended the throne in Guangzhou. With the support of a group of gentry in Guangdong, Huguang, Sichuan, as well as the chieftains of Guangxi and Yunnan, Zhu Youlang ascended the throne and called himself the emperor, with the reign of Yongli.

After the pseudo-Yongli Emperor Zhu Youlang ascended the throne, he not only received support from the land gentry and local gentry in Guangdong, but also from the Qing Dynasty.

Dorgon immediately sent an envoy to send congratulatory gifts to the pseudo-Yongli Emperor, congratulating Emperor Yongli Zhu Youlang for ascending the throne and fighting against the foolish monarch Chongzhen, and proposed that the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty (the Ming Dynasty of Yongli) were brothers of each other.

According to the agreement between the orthodox Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty could not break out in five years. However, Dorgon would not immediately break up with the orthodox Ming Dynasty to provoke the war. He just verbally supported Emperor Yongli and then secretly made some small moves, such as giving some silver support.

In the Forbidden City in Nanjing, Emperor Chongzhen had just received good news of the great victory in Ganzhou, and heard the news of the pseudo-Yongli Emperor ascended the throne. He was so angry that he threw the cup in his hand to the ground. However, he did not hear the familiar sound of the broken ceramics. It turned out that it was a silver cup.

"Damn it! It's really abominable! It's not long since the rebellion of King Fu, and King Gui rebelled again!" Chongzhen roared angrily.

"The emperor, it's all the Tartars and gentry who are making trouble behind the scenes. If the Tartars and gentry were not supported by them, would King Gui dare to rebel?" Wang Chengen advised.

Chongzhen slapped the dragon case violently: "Parent Wang, it seems that I will send the Jinyiwei to Guangdong to search!"

To be honest, Chongzhen now hated those Guangdong gentry to the core. Those guys had the most intense means of fighting against the imperial tax supervision as early as the Wanli period. In the end, Wanli did not dare to send tax supervision to Guangdong. Guangdong was almost a piece of iron, without any leakage, and it was difficult for the imperial court to intervene, which was basically equivalent to an economically independent kingdom. This was the case during the Wanli period. During the Tianqi period, there was no way to deal with Guangdong during the nine thousand years, let alone during the Chongzhen period.

Chongzhen decided to take advantage of the opportunity of the Huai Army to suppress the rebellion and infiltrate the Jinyiwei's power to Guangdong. This place needs to be cleaned up properly.

Judging from the current situation, not only is the world already in chaos, but the Ming Dynasty also faces the danger of division. Today, there is the Qing Dynasty in the north, the Daxi Army in Sichuan, the Orthodox Ming Dynasty in Jiangnan, and the Yongli in the south. If Li Guodong had not defeated Duoduo's 600,000 Qing troops, it would have been very dangerous to use the currently divided Ming Dynasty to fight against the Qing Dynasty.

It was precisely because Li Guodong won the battle of Yangzhou that the Qing army was no longer able to fight south, but Li Guodong dared to let all the cavalry and some infantry of the Huai Army stay in the Huai River and personally led the navy and some infantry to fight south.

Not long after, Zhang Shuheng received an imperial edict, and Chongzhen asked him to lead the Three Thousand Jinyiwei out of the capital to Ganzhou to find Li Guodong, and follow the Huai Army to Guangdong. Wang Chengen's godson Wang Kun, who brought the Five Hundred Dongchang Monks and followed the Jinyiwei to leave the capital and go to Ganzhou.

At the Ganzhou Riverside Wharf, a fleet of ships hanging high with the emperor's personal army arrived at the wharf. Zhang Shuheng and Wang Kun led 3,500 factory guards to get off the ship.

In addition to bringing the five hundred Dongchang men, Wang Kun also brought Chongzhen's imperial edict.

Li Guodong set up an incense table in the camp and inserted three incense sticks to receive the imperial edict. The content of the imperial edict was to give Li Guodong the Shangfang sword and send troops to Guangdong as soon as possible. With the Shangfang sword in his hand, local civil and military officials in Guangdong could be deposed first and then reported.

However, Chongzhen supported Li Guodong very much this time. Although he asked him to send troops as soon as possible, he did not urge him to send troops immediately, but just let him be quick.

With Shangfang's sword in hand, when the rebel army was suppressed, Li Guodong would be able to start a massacre, show his skills in Guangdong, and clean up it up well. Li Guodong wanted to use the excuse of colluding with rebels to clean up all the land gentry in Guangdong, confiscated all the lands of the gentry, and formed a royal farmer, turned the gentry's tenants into farmers in the imperial farmer, and let them rent land in the imperial farmer. Li Guodong planned to kill all the maritime merchants in Guangdong.

For Guangdong's maritime merchants to kill them, this incident is a very pleasant thing for the Donglin Party and the Fujian Zheng Zhilong Group.

As long as Guangdong Maritime Merchants are wiped out, Zheng Zhilong Group will lose one of its biggest competitors, and Donglin Party Maritime Merchants can also take the opportunity to reach into Guangdong, which is rich.

For Zheng Zhilong, the most unbearable thing is that many Guangdong maritime merchants are still the remnants of Liu Xiang's pirates. Those Guangdong maritime merchants rely on the Portuguese and the Spaniards to be the backstage, and even collude with the Dutch, so Zheng Zhilong could not touch them.

The Donglin Party could no longer bear it against the Guangdong gentry. The Donglin Silver in Jiangnan could not enter Guangdong at all. The Guangdong gentry created a Lingnan Silver in itself, and the Lingnan Silver even extended its hands to Huguang and Huaihe areas, and fiercely competed with the Donglin Silver in fierce competition and snatched nearly half of the Donglin Silver in business.
